This deliverable summarises the SESA project’s cooperation with other EU-funded initiatives to enhance sustainable energy development in Africa. The strategy underscores the importance of collaboration among projects like ENERGICA, REFFECT AFRICA, SophiA, SteamBioAfrica, LEAP-RE, and SolutionsPlus, which share the common goal of accelerating the green transition and energy access across the continent.

Executive Summary

This deliverable summarises the SESA project’s cooperation with other EU-funded initiatives to enhance sustainable energy development in Africa. The strategy underscores the importance of collaboration among projects like ENERGICA, REFFECT AFRICA, SophiA, SteamBioAfrica, LEAP-RE, and SolutionsPlus, which share the common goal of accelerating the green transition and energy access across the continent. By leveraging synergies across thematic areas such as off-grid energy solutions, clean cooking technologies, and electric mobility, the strategy aims to foster innovation, knowledge sharing, and capacity building. Through detailed mapping and analysis of sister projects, the report identifies opportunities for co-developing innovations, enhancing technology transfer, and facilitating joint research and publications. The report also outlines specific cooperation mechanisms, including country learning exchanges, technical collaboration on renewable energy technologies, and joint capacity-building initiatives. Success metrics are proposed to evaluate the effectiveness of these collaborative efforts in achieving sustainable and scalable energy solutions in Africa. This strategic approach is envisioned to not only advance the SESA project’s objectives but also contribute significantly to the broader EU-Africa partnership on renewable energy.
