May 11, 2026 | 11:30 AM EAT - 12:15 PM EAT
Closed Door
Description
In partnership with:
- World Bank Group
- Agence française de développement (AFD)
Access to reliable, affordable and sustainable energy remains one of Africa’s most pressing development challenges. Nearly 600 million people still lack access to electricity, constraining economic transformation and quality of life.
The Mission 300 initiative, led by the World Bank Group and the African Development Bank, aims to connect 300 million people to electricity by 2030, mobilising governments, international partners and the private sector around a shared objective.
This session will bring together public decision-makers, international financial institutions, utilities and private sector actors to explore how to accelerate implementation. The objective is
to identify scalable solutions, strengthen coordination and highlight early concrete achievements, including those supported by France.
