The private sector, energy development partners and nearly 30 African heads of state came together this week in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania for the Mission 300 Africa Energy Summit, joining forces to expand access to reliable, affordable and sustainable electricity across the continent.
The summit marked the official kick-off of Mission 300, a joint initiative of the World Bank and the African Development Bank (AfDB) to bring electricity to 300 million people in Africa by 2030.
Nearly 600 million Africans lack direct access to affordable electricity. Mission 300 aims to improve the standards of living, create jobs, provide essential services, empower women, increase digitalization and drive economic growth for half that population.
Mission 300 will leverage innovative technologies and new financing approaches to accelerate the eradication of Africa’s overwhelming energy gap.
