The Power Africa “‘Energy Talent Development - West Africa’ (ETD-WA)” activity (thereafter “the Activity”) will work with local institutions to encourage West Africa’s transition to a more sustainable low-carbon energy system. This activity will coordinate with “Empower West Africa” (EWA), Power Africa’s flagship contract in West Africa aimed at closing the energy poverty gap within the region by increasing the availability of and access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern electricity services in the region. As a complement to the broad scope of EWA, the Activity will focus specifically on building capacity of local institutions and individuals through training, workshops, or other capacity-building interventions to advance the goals of EWA.
Power Africa’s results framework clearly articulates Power Africa’s goal of Advancing sub-Saharan African development through universal access to clean energy. The results framework presents three Development Objectives outlining the programmatic areas in which Power Africa intends to provide assistance. These include Ending Energy Poverty, Accelerating a Carbon-Free Future, and Bolstering Competitive Private Sector Investment and Innovation in the Energy Sector.
Objectives:
In line with a whole-of-Power Africa approach, the Activity should identify capacity building needs that would advance the following objectives also outlined in the Empower West Africa Activity:
- Optimizing utility performance to increase access;
- Off-grid generation and connections increased;
- Transition to clean energy development and deployment accelerated;
- Private sector investment and innovation in the energy sector enhanced for domestic and regional infrastructure.
