African countries have abundant energy resources, but electricity is urgently needed for people's living and economic development. The strong dependence on fossil fuels leads to drastic effects of climate change, including drought, flooding, soil erosion etc. In addition, individuals are losing their lives and incurring economic losses from climate-related disasters every year in most African countries. Hence, there is an immediate need for a technical transfer, research and training centre in Africa to promote the development of clean energy and rural electrification for achieving Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 7 (Affordable and clean energy), SDG 13 (Climate action) and SDG 17 (Partnerships for the goals).
