On April 17, we explored how we can scale up the solutions and investments needed to help connect millions more Africans to electricity and transform African economies. At the event, the World Bank Group and African Development Bank Group announced a new partnership to provide at least 300 million people in Africa with electricity access by 2030. This effort could halve the number of people in Africa living without electricity access. Read the announcement.
