Description
The African Energy Leaders Group (AELG) is a community of energy leaders dedicated to promote a sustainable energy transition in Africa in support of the objectives of the SEforALL Initiative.
The AELG comprises high-level individuals from the public and private sector: Heads of State, CEOs of major corporations, representatives of African institutions. The AELG was launched in January 2015 at the World Economic Forum in Davos, spearheaded by the Special Representative of the UN Secretary General (SRSG) for SEforALL, Kandeh Yumkella.
The Hub contributed to the establishment of the AELG, which is dedicated to unblock energy sector problems (policy and project related) hindering the progress towards the SEforALL targets. The Secretariat of the AELG is housed at the African Development Bank in conjunction with the SEforALL Africa Hub. Funding for the initial functioning of the Secretariat has been provided by public and private donors.
