❝ The Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (#GERD)—is the biggest of our hydro projects and is a regional asset for everyone. Ethiopia is committed to becoming a reliable source of clean and renewable energy for its neighbors.❞
Reliable and equitable energy must serve as the bedrock for sustainable industrialization, job creation, and climate resilience through shared infrastructure, harmonized policies, and cross-border energy trade to fulfill the ambitions of the AU Agenda 2063 @GHessebon #AFRIRUNIV
Une énergie fiable et équitable est essentielle pour l’industrialisation durable, l’emploi et la résilience climatique, via des infrastructures partagées, des politiques harmonisées et le commerce énergétique régional, afin de concrétiser l’Agenda 2063 de l’UA

"How do you define the sector context overall in terms of transparency and clarity?
What is it that the national government, the country, domestically is doing to facilitate that?
And then finally comes the question, and many people have spoken of it, but I haven't touched much on it, which is, then comes the question of how do you do regional cooperation?
How do you work with your neighbours, with the regions, with regional institutions, then you can fulfil those national visions and aspirations.
But it also has to be, when you come to a country, has to be decisions and commitments of the country to let them estimate what's your position, whether it is regionally or globally." Ms. Monali Ranade, World Bank Infrastructure Program Leader for Eritrea, Ethiopia, South Sudan, and Sudan
