Listen "How to shift the needle for energy access in Africa"
Episode Synopsis
Hosts Elizabeth Wangeci Chege and Anant Wadhwa sit down with Emmanuel Aziebor, Senior Director for Africa at CLASP, to explore the urgency of achieving universal energy access, and why we can’t afford to leave this challenge to the next generation.Speaking at the SEforALL Global Forum in Barbados, Emmanuel shares his early memories of growing up in rural Ghana without electricity and how that sparked his passion for energy equity. We discuss innovations in energy-efficient appliances, clean cooking technologies, and the role of policy and finance in driving real change. Emmanuel also reflects on the role of Africa’s youth in shaping energy policy and implementation - and the importance of building solutions from the ground up.From net-zero heroes to grassroots innovation, this is a powerful reminder that solving the energy access crisis is not just technical, it’s personal, and political.
