Why WEPEX?
Challenges of Power Generation and Food Security in Sub-Saharan Africa
One of the biggest challenges facing sub-Saharan Africa is generating sufficient power to unlock its economic potential. Presently, there is food insecurity and millions of people have been struggling to survive relentless hunger and poverty over the past several decades. Though the continent is blessed with natural resources, several factors contribute to food insecurity and limited agricultural productivity. The most critical ones are the ever increasing population and the associated water and energy demands exacerbated by changing weather patterns and climate change.
Importance of Water and Energy for Sustainable Development in Africa
Water is a vital strategic natural resource for all economies, mainly in food production, domestic use, and in the production of renewable energy. Development and management of this resource is thus a necessary condition for sustainable development for Sub-Saharan Africa's economies and for meeting the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Attaining food security by raising agricultural productivity will inevitably involve increases in energy inputs for water supply and management and for agro-processing. Energy security and access challenges are the main issues to address in the developmental agenda of Africa for the attainment of the MDGs.
Transboundary Water Management and Energy Challenges in Eastern Africa
One of the biggest challenges facing sub-Saharan Africa is generating sufficient power to unlock its economic potential. Presently, there is food insecurity and millions of people have been struggling to survive relentless hunger and poverty over the past several decades. Though the continent is blessed with natural resources, several factors contribute to food insecurity and limited agricultural productivity. The most critical ones are the ever increasing population and the associated water and energy demands exacerbated by changing weather patterns and climate change.
Path to Energy Transition & Sustainable Development in Eastern Africa
Efforts to develop the economies in the subregion are being stifled by the lack of reliable energy. This is in spite of the fact that the region has a significant number of perennial rivers with the potential to generate more than enough energy for the subregion and beyond. The low levels of energy access, heavy dependence on biomass for energy, low per capita energy consumption and the lack of adequate energy infrastructure are some of the main energy challenges. An energy transition in the subregion would involve a move from the present levels of subsistence energy usage based on human labour and fuelwood resources, to a situation where household services and farming activities use a range of sustainable and diversified energy sources.
Strategies for Increasing Energy Access and Strengthening Partnerships in Eastern Africa
The obvious benefits of an energy transition would be greater resilience in the production system, higher productivity, improved efficiency and higher incomes to farmers. Furthermore, environmental degradation, resulting primarily from poverty, would be minimized. The underlying themes that need to be stressed for increasing energy access are country-led efforts, regional projects and strengthened partnerships. The emphasis should be on an increase in electricity generation, to power sustainable development and meet basic needs. In order to achieve these goals, there is the need for an effective management of resources with improved institutional performance within the subregion. There is also a need for more deliberations on the management of water to inform transboundary negotiations.
Why Kenya?
KICC
Kenyatta International Convention Center
The Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC) marked its 50th anniversary in September 11 this year 2023. The magnificent masterpiece that is the KICC has been and still remains the country’s icon and symbol since its inception in 1973. The Centre forms part of Kenya’s history and a companion that define and shape the country’s future. It remains part of Kenya’s rich heritage and provides a platform for the country to leap into its future.
The fact is, no one really thinks of Kenya’s capital, Nairobi, without the iconic building KICC, lining the blue skies. It seems to have been part of the capital for eternity, having played host to both local and international meetings, summits, exhibitions, and great world leaders and celebrities since 1973.
