Germany intensifies energy transition cooperation with three African countries
Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development
The German development ministry (BMZ) has concluded so-called reform partnerships with three African countries that include expanding the use of renewable energy sources and improving energy efficiency, the BMZ said in a press release. Tunisia, Ivory Coast and Ghana “stand out by virtue of their reform-oriented policies”, which is why Germany intends to invest up to 300 million euros in additional funds to generate more private investments and jobs there, the press release said. In the framework of its G20 presidency, Germany has made Africa a regional focus for the first time, it added.
