Enabling evidence-based energy system decisions for sustainable development in Africa
What we do
Design context-specific national energy pathways. These includes strategic plans, implementation approaches, adequate policies and finance mechanisms for sustainable development.
Make Africa the centre of African energy, climate and sustainable development scholarship: AISESA reorients knowledge creation processes to be led by African scholars from conception to completion.
Enable evidence-based decision-making: AISESA collaborates closely with decision-makers to co-create policies and build the right capacities.
Policymakers
We equip policymakers with data-driven tools to create impactful, evidence-based energy, climate and development policies.
Society
We help to turn energy access into tangible development benefits which transform daily lives.
Business
We support African businesses in developing successful technology and business model innovations.
Academia
We empower young African academics to conduct world-class, context-specific energy, climate and development research.
