To our Member states, stakeholders and partners in the Energy Sector and readers, 

The year 2022 has been an amazing and yet challenging one. After surviving two years of locked down and the pandemic, we have managed to get back to our feet to implement our mandate as entrusted upon us by our African Union Member states, to contribute to Africa’s energy sector transformation.  

We are therefore happy to bring you this edition, to remind all our stakeholders and partners on the strides we have made and the future prospects for Africa in energy. 

The edition brings you key information on how we have contributed to the sector, our annual achievements, features on how Africa can develop a domestic market on Oil and Gas, the support we provided to our members states to develop and improve their National Energy Information System (NEIS) and conducting a bioenergy survey in Mozambique, support to Malawi, Uganda and Morocco to improve reporting on NDCs, saving assessment for the East Africa region and associated countries , and so much more.  

We do hope you enjoy reading this bulletin and you will continue to support, collaborate and engage with us in the upcoming year 2023, in our pursuit of building ‘the Africa We Want’ and achieving Africa’s aspiration for Agenda 2063 and UN agenda 2030.  

AFREC wishes you a splendid holiday and a restful festive.
