The Africa Energy Forum (AEF) is a global investment meeting for Africa’s power, energy, infrastructure, and industrial sectors. The event brings together decision-makers in Africa's energy sector to form partnerships, identify opportunities, and collectively move the industry forward.
Abt fosters conditions for resilient clean energy investments and applies our cross-sectoral expertise to convene the public and private sectors to develop, fund, and implement inclusive energy solutions, including a project to electrify health facilities across sub-Saharan Africa.
