As part of the technical assistance project focused on attracting finance and investment for Africa’s energy transition, UN Trade and Development, through its Investment Promotion and Facilitation Programme, is organizing a stakeholders’ meeting in Addis Ababa, on August 15, 2024. 

This collaborative effort with the Ethiopian Investment Commission (EIC) aims to identify key challenges and opportunities for international investment to support Ethiopia’s energy transition plans. 

The outcomes of this meeting will contribute to the development of a strategy that promotes and facilitates international finance and investment in sustainable energy related projects.

The Development Account “Attracting finance and investment for the energy transition in Africa” targets five countries—Ethiopia, Malawi, Namibia, Seychelles, and Tanzania. 

The goal is to enhance their capacity to promote and facilitate international finance and investments in projects that accelerate the energy transition, improving access to and affordability of sustainable energy.
