On 13 March 2024, the UK Government’s Foreign Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) will host a one-day Forum in Kigali, dedicated to advancing an inclusive clean energy transition in sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia and the Indo-Pacific region. The event aims to address the challenges outlined in the UN’s SDG midpoint review which emphasised the need for accelerated progress in achieving SDG7.
Bringing together clean energy innovators and key decision-makers from across government, policy and investment, the Forum seeks to enhance collaboration and knowledge exchange.
Through keynotes, panels and thematic sessions, the agenda will focus on sharing tangible insights from across the Transforming Energy Access (TEA) platform and programmes supported via the Ayrton Fund to foster informed decision-making. The Forum will also feature an innovation marketplace for a selection of exhibitors.
Topics to be explored include energy storage, mini-grid market enablement, innovative finance mechanisms, sustainable cooling, and ensuring inclusivity in clean energy innovation. The Forum will also dive into key enablers for progress, such as scaling innovations, capacity building, unlocking finance, and collaborating with local partners.
The Forum will close with a networking drinks reception.
Delegates also have the opportunity to apply for a limited number of places for site visits on Thursday 14 March, to get first-hand insight into projects in Rwanda supported via TEA.
Who should attend:
The event will bring together a range of clean energy innovators, key decision makers, government officials, policymakers, investors, programme managers, entrepreneurs, and wider stakeholders who share a strategic interest in innovations that accelerate progress towards SDG7.
Please note that the Forum is an in-person focused event, only parts of the main plenary will be streamed online with limited opportunity for remote interaction. We strongly advise attendance in person where possible, to make the most of the valuable sessions and the additional networking opportunities during lunch and at the evening reception.
