Africa has some of the world's best renewable energy resources, yet renewable sources account for less than 10% of grid-connected electricity. This publication identifies technical barriers—including grid stability, storage capacity, and transmission infrastructure—and proposes policy solutions.

Case studies from South Africa's REIPPP programme, Morocco's Noor solar complex, Kenya's geothermal expansion, and Nigeria's off-grid solar revolution provide actionable insights.

Climate change poses an existential threat to West Africa, where economies remain heavily dependent on rain-fed agriculture and natural resources. This publication provides a systematic review of National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) across the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) region.

Key findings indicate that while all 14 countries have developed climate policies, only 30% have allocated dedicated budgets for implementation. The infrastructure gap is estimated at $15 billion annually through 2030.
