SUMMARY:Webinar - The path to universal energy access in an era of shrinking aid
DESCRIPTION: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. \nWhat does this mean for the 600-plus million people who remain without electricity in Africa? \nThe 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. \nIf 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. \nMain themes in this webinar: \n\nFind out how governments across Africa are adapting to achieve universal energy access on their own terms\nUnderstand the role of renewable energy and decentralised models in bolstering electrification and economic development across the continent\nLearn more about commercially sustainable models that seek to accelerate the rate of electrification whilst reducing reliance on aid and subsidies.\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\nAnita Otubu \n\n\n\n\nSenior Director\nUEF at SEforALL \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOlamide Niyi-Afuye \n\n\n\n\nChief Executive Officer\nAMDA
