A cornerstone of Mission 300 is the leadership of African governments—driving reforms, setting bold targets, and creating the conditions to transform their energy sectors.
Working with the WBG and AfDB, governments are developing and implementing National Energy Compacts, which set ambitious targets, with timelines, to:
- Expand energy infrastructure at competitive costs
- Leverage the benefits of regional power integration
- Embrace distributed renewable energy and clean cooking solutions as critical elements of the access agenda
- Foster greater private sector participation to unlock additional resources
- Strengthen utilities
The National Compacts are fully led and developed by the governments. Countries are encouraged to hold public consultations with civil society and other relevant stakeholders to inform the development of the Compacts.
