While Africa is still recovering from the socio-economic repercussions of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Russian war in Ukraine poses new economic threats to many African countries. To that effect, the 2022 SEforALL Forum has invited the Africa-EU Energy Partnership (AEEP) to participate in the high-level side event “Africa-Europe energy cooperation and the implications of the war in Ukraine” on the 18th of May (15:30 – 16:15 GMT+2). 

The first Middle East and North Africa (MENA) Climate Week hosted a panel on the “Collaboration and Partnerships to Accelerate a Sustainable and Just Energy Transition“. The panel highlighted how a just energy transition can provide solutions to climate change but requires increased collaboration and partnerships across the entire economy.

Under the theme ‘Putting Africa on a Firm Footing for Recovery, Growth, and Resilience through Infrastructure’, the 7th PIDA Week brought together international and regional expertise from multiple stakeholders to deliberate on the issues around infrastructure delivery in Africa.
