European Financial Flows on SDG7 to Africa

The Africa-EU Energy Partnership’s European Financial Flows on SDG7 to Africa report quantifies global commitments made towards the achievement of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goal 7 in Africa for the period 2014-2022. Building on the first two reports, the third edition provides a comprehensive analysis of the financing landscape for SDG7 in Africa outlining the European Union’s pivotal contribution, while painting a clear picture of the gap between current progress to SDG7 and the 2030 target.

Consistent efforts by the European Union (EU) and its Member States, other public donors, and African governments have resulted in the addition of vital infrastructure. The report, however, also clearly shows that larger efforts will be required to reach universal clean energy access on the continent.
