“BUILDING PARTNERSHIPS FOR SUSTAINABLE ENERGY…
On my way to the 2025 Energy Summit in Tanzania, I seized the chance to connect with Africa’s visionary leader, His Excellency President William Ruto of Kenya. His commitment to renewable energy showcases Africa’s readiness to lead the global energy transition.
The 2025 Energy Summit, hosted by the United Republic of Tanzania alongside the African Union, African Development Bank, and the World Bank, aligns its ambitious Mission 300 goals with Zimbabwe’s Vision 2030. Both initiatives aim to transform lives through enhanced energy access, highlighting renewable solutions as key drivers of economic and social progress.
The Second Republic of Zimbabwe deserves recognition for integrating its National Development Strategy with Vision 2030 and global energy objectives, ensuring that clean energy is central to industrialization and inclusive development. This alignment reflects visionary leadership and a profound understanding of how sustainable energy propels long-term economic prosperity.
With its vast solar resources, Zimbabwe is well-positioned to spearhead Africa’s energy revolution. I eagerly anticipate the summit as a valuable opportunity to explore funding avenues and establish partnerships for impactful renewable energy projects.
As I prepare for this important dialogue, I reaffirm my commitment to advancing clean energy initiatives in Zimbabwe and across the continent. Africa’s energy challenges require collective action, and with a shared vision, we can create a future where energy empowers progress, safeguards our planet, and transforms lives…”
