How can Africa make the best of its energy resources?

Africa Daily - Podcast autorstwa BBC World Service

After European nations imposed sanctions on Russia, many are looking to Africa for an alternative energy supply. But while this could be an opportunity for some countries, it also highlights global inequalities when it comes to access to electricity. Alan hears from an energy expert who says funding is needed for developing renewable technologies – and from a legal expert who’s helped countries negotiate energy deals with foreign countries. “Did you know Africa’s total installed energy capacity is less than Germany’s and yet Germany has a population of about 83 million people and Africa now has about 1.3 billion?” Presenter: Alan Kasujja (@Kasujja) Guests: Jakke Cilliers of ISS Africa and legal expert, Stephen Karangizi.
