Webinar - The path to universal energy access in an era of shrinking aid
2025-10-08 15:00 - 16:00 (Europe/Amsterdam) | virtual
Achieving universal energy access looks more challenging than ever. Faced with geopolitical and domestic pressures, traditional donor countries, including the United States, the UK, France, and Germany have slashed their aid budgets and redirected their focus to defence and deficit reduction.
What does this mean for the 600-plus million people who remain without electricity in Africa?
The answers are complex. African governments and private sector representatives are seeking to reduce reliance on foreign aid, emphasising home-grown solutions to further electrification as a key step to improve the lives of Africans. Additionally. whilst aid from western nations is declining, there are signs that countries from across the Middle East and Asia are stepping up to bridge the gap, raising questions about the political influence they may seek in return.
If you find these issues fascinating, join the panel of experts to exchange knowledge and chart the way forward for rural electrification and universal energy access in Africa.
Main themes in this webinar:

Find out how governments across Africa are adapting to achieve universal energy access on their own terms
Understand the role of renewable energy and decentralised models in bolstering electrification and economic development across the continent
Learn more about commercially sustainable models that seek to accelerate the rate of electrification whilst reducing reliance on aid and subsidies.

Webinar: Building gender-inclusive PURE business models
2025-05-14 13:00 - 14:30 (Africa/Johannesburg) | virtual
Women are essential yet often invisible drivers of economic activity across developing regions, comprising 40% of the global agricultural workforce and 58% of Africa's self-employed population. Despite their significant contributions, women face persistent barriers in accessing and benefiting from Productive Use of Renewable Energy (PURE) technologies.
Join GOGLA for an insightful webinar to discover how innovative companies are transforming their business models to better serve women's energy needs while building sustainable businesses.
In this webinar, you'll understand why women represent only one-third of PURE technology end-users despite their economic significance, along with the transformative impact when this gap is addressed. We'll explore how customer personas serve as powerful tools for developing gender-smart business models by mapping women's unique needs, constraints, and aspirations across different segments—from subsistence farmers to growth-oriented entrepreneurs. This user-centered approach helps companies identify critical pain points and opportunities throughout the customer journey, informing everything from product design to marketing strategies and support services.
Drawing on existing literature and real-world examples of gender-smart approaches that work, including Oorja's "Farming as a Service" and Agsol's women-friendly solar mills designed for lightweight operation and small batch processing, this webinar will present a framework for creating gender-smart businesses across the entire customer journey. The speakers will also discuss ecosystem support by exploring policy recommendations and partnerships needed to scale these approaches.This webinar offers practical insights for anyone interested in closing the gender gap in energy access while tapping into a significant underserved market.

AECE2-ESMAP webinar on Energy for Jobs
2025-05-07 15:00 - 16:30 (Africa/Johannesburg) | virtual
Join this webinar hosted by the World Bank’s Kenya Country Office and ESMAP on opportunities for creation of sustainable jobs in Eastern and Southern Africa (AFE) . They will explore the opportunities and challenges in accelerating access to energy, expanding economic opportunities and creating sustainable jobs in the agriculture and livestock sectors.

This webinar brings together agriculture and energy practitioners to explore how to unlock transformation in the Agri-food systems. Agriculture accounts for 56 percent of total employment in Eastern and Southern Africa (AFE). Improving productivity in agriculture, livestock, and fisheries, and supporting approaches that allow smallholder farmers, livestock producers, and fish producers to move up the value chains is critical. However, the lack of reliable energy access in these rural areas presents a major barrier to economic activity and job creation, and to the expansion of benefits to smallholder farmers. In these rural areas, accelerated access to energy needed to achieve economic growth and job creation can only happen through distributed renewable energy (DRE) solutions, such as solar home systems, micro-grids, and mini-grids.
During this webinar, you will learn firsthand from practitioners about distributed renewable energy (DRE) solutions, how DRE facilitates higher productivity in agriculture and livestock value chains, and how it enables sustainable job creation. We will hear about experiences to accelerate the expansion of access to energy in AFE, South Asia and beyond. We will discuss what has worked, what has not, and how successful approaches can be replicated and scaled up.
The event will be chaired by Qimiao Fan, Division Director for Kenya, Rwanda, Somalia, and Uganda at the World Bank. The presentation will be given by Dana Rysankova, Lead Energy Specialist at the World Bank. Closing remarks will be delivered by Fanny Missfeldt-Ringius, Practice Manager at ESMAP, World Bank. The panelists include:
- Kasozí Tondo James, Principal Engineer at the Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Industry and Fisheries, Uganda
- Amanullah Alamzai, Senior Agriculture Economist at the World Bank
- Bas Hetterschied, Manager Partnerships at Wageningen University & Research (WUR)
