AfDB Puts Energy on the Front Burner of Africa’s Development

The African Development Bank (AfDB) has placed energy squarely on the front burner of its development agenda, for a continent on which some 645 million, more than half of the population, do not have access to reliable electricity. Africa's "energy poverty" is a paradox, given that the continent is blessed with vast raw energy resources.  A two-day debate on the subject ended in Abidjan today.
