Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span>Italy has made a new commitment of \u20ac5 million to Africa’s sustainable energy future through the Sustainable Energy Fund for Africa (SEFA) Special Fund. The Italian Deputy Minister of Environment and Energy Security, Vannia Gava, announced the new contribution on Monday during a side event at the 2023 United Nations Climate Change Conference, COP28(link is external), in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis new contribution of \u20ac5 million to the Sustainable Energy Fund for Africa (SEFA) Special Fund strengthens the attention that the Italian Government devotes to Africa, a geographical region of priority importance for our country’s energy and climate policies,\u201d Gava said.<\/p>\n

She added that the commitment underscores Italy’s continued dedication to fostering sustainable energy development in Africa. \u201cOur long-lasting cooperation with the African Development Bank, launched in 2015 with the contribution to the first cycle of SEFA and the Africa Climate Change Fund (ACCF), is further reinforced by this commitment.\u201d<\/p>\n

Res4Africa Foundation(link is external) and GSE(link is external) co-organised the event, titled \u201cGearing up Africa\u2019s energy transition by conducive policy and legislative frameworks.\u201d It focused on the necessity of private sector investments to expedite the sustainable transformation of Africa\u2019s electricity sectors. It also highlighted the critical role of technical assistance programmes in achieving these goals.<\/p>\n

Dr. Daniel Schroth, Director of the Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Department at the African Development Bank, stated, \u201cItaly’s new contribution to SEFA is a powerful statement of its commitment to Africa’s just energy transition. This funding will further bolster SEFA\u2019s efforts to deliver sustainable and reliable energy access across the continent, driving economic growth and enhancing the quality of life for millions. We are deeply grateful for Italy’s continued partnership and shared vision in supporting Africa’s sustainable energy journey.\u201d<\/p>\n

Italy’s contribution aligns with the broader goals of COP28, particularly the objective of tripling the deployment of renewable energy.<\/p>\n
