Over 200 energy efficiency professionals from nearly 20 countries gathered to share experiences on how energy efficiency can support Africa’s energy security
The International Energy Agency (IEA) is holding its Africa Energy Efficiency Policy Training Week in Accra from 20-23 October. Co-hosted by the Ministry of Energy and Green Transition of Ghana, and with support from the African Development Bank (AfDB) and the African Union Energy Commission (AFREC), it marks a key milestone in the IEA’s growing work on energy efficiency with African countries.

The training week brings together policy makers and energy professionals from nearly 20 countries across the continent to share experience and expertise in energy efficiency policy and to understand the role efficiency can play in meeting energy security, affordability and sustainability goals in emerging and developing economies.

“Delivering energy efficiency progress in Africa is the fastest, most affordable way to expand energy access, strengthen economies and build a sustainable energy future for all across the continent.” said Brian Motherway, Head of the IEA’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Inclusive Transitions. “The IEA has worked closely with countries across Africa to develop the expertise require for effective policy making on energy efficiency. These Training Weeks help to strengthen that knowledge base between countries and support continued momentum in this critical area.”
