Thirty African heads of state and governments have committed to concrete reforms to expand access to reliable electricity to power economic growth and drive job creation across the continent, reports the Liberian Observer. The Dar es Salaam Energy Declaration, endorsed at the Mission 300 Africa Energy Summit, represents a key milestone in addressing the energy gap in Africa, where more than 600m people currently live without electricity. The commitment unites governments, development banks, partners, philanthropies and the private sector to connect 300m Africans to electricity by 2030. At the summit, Mission 300 partners pledged more than $50bn in support of increasing energy access across Africa. The declaration will now be submitted to the African Union Summit in February for adoption. Twelve countries – Malawi, Zambia, Tanzania, Chad, Côte d'Ivoire, Democratic Republic of Congo, Liberia, Madagascar, Mauritania, Niger, Nigeria and Senegal – presented detailed targets to scale up electricity access, increase the use of renewable energy and attract additional private capital.
