Africa as a developing continent has more than enough problems but it is believed that solving the power problems as well as infrastructure will be a stepping stone to the progress of the continent. This is why Kenya, Zambia, Uganda and Rwanda are working together in finding ways in which these areas can be covered.

Ministers and senior representatives from these four East African countries have recently pledged their support in solving East Africa’s crippling power deficit.

EnergyNet’s Programme Manager Veronica Bolton-Smith said of the recent Ministerial confirmations; “When you consider that Powering East Africa is a targeted meeting for a small number of participants, the presence of four of the most powerful people in the region’s energy sector highlights the need for such focused talks.”
