The European Union's Financing in the Energy Sector in Africa

05 October 2007

As European civil society we want to critically evaluate the role and responsibility of the EIB in the different EU instruments for energy cooperation with Africa in preparation of the EU-Africa Summit in December 2007. Does the EIB’s energy portfolio in Africa contribute to the EU stated aims of sustainable development, combating climate change and the eradication of poverty? Are the various approaches coherent and do they provide value-added? And do EIB’s energy projects in Africa promote sustainable energy usage as well as renewable and decentralised energy cooperation?
