Last week, our partner and Afrika Vuka Network steering committee member Asmaa Hanafi had the privilege of traveling from Alexandria to Cairo with a delegation from the Alexandria Engineers Syndicate to visit Solar & Storage Live Egypt at the Egypt International Exhibition Center. Bringing together energy engineers, researchers, and university students developing tech-driven graduation projects, the trip was a testament to the talent driving Africa’s transition.

As the Founder of Green Society, exploring the latest solar and storage tech was deeply inspiring to her. The sun across Africa is free and abundant. It is time we fully REPower Africa!

But technology alone isn’t enough. True energy justice means ensuring our communities have access to the knowledge, skills, and local capacity needed to build, maintain, and innovate these systems ourselves.
From exploring cutting-edge energy storage to seeing practical solutions for solar panel cooling and dust management, this visit reaffirmed that technology + local education = Africa’s sustainable energy future.

Let’s keep building!

Hear directly from a pastoralist leader Nailejileji in Tanzania as she exposes the dual reality impacting her community: losing ancestral land to destructive fossil fuel projects and being displaced by top-down, greenwashed initiatives like carbon markets.

True climate action cannot be built on corporate land grabs. Swapping fossil fuels for carbon offsets doesn’t deliver climate justice if local and Indigenous communities are pushed off the land they’ve protected for generations.

It’s time to

We don’t just need new energy; we need a Just Transition. That means scaling up renewable energy solutions that are:

1. Community-owned and locally driven
2. Respectful of indigenous and pastoralist land rights and
3. Focused on people and planet over corporate profit

Help us demand energy solutions that empower communities rather than displace them.

When local communities lead the charge to our neighborhoods, energy becomes a shared, local asset, as explained by Alpha Ntayomba, Population and Development Initiative (PDI)

Here is why community is the foundation of the clean energy revolution: For energy sovereignty, faster adoption, equity, resilience and economic reinvestment.

We don’t just need more solar panels and wind turbines, we need the collective voice, local trust, and shared vision of the people who live under them.

Despite global progress on SDG 7, the energy transition remains slow, uneven, and heavily technical, frequently overlooking gender, health, and human rights intersections.

While fossil fuel multinationals report massive Q2 profits, rural and Indigenous communities across Africa remain locked out of both grid access and investment. Access to affordable, clean energy is a fundamental human right, not a luxury.

Join us as we unpack outcomes from the UN High-level Political Forum (HLPF) and connect global policy to ground realities from to the movement. We’ll explore how taxing fossil fuel profiteers can fund a community-first, decentralized energy transition that centers gender equality, local sovereignty, and human rights.
