The whole world is preparing for the transition, but can countries and regions starting from different points be expected to make the same progress? Whilst some African governments are coming out with fossil fuel bans, there is still a huge gap in power supply in Africa that needs to be tackled. This session delves into the realities of the energy transition for Africa. 

• How can Africa’s rich natural resources be used to ensure energy security and a just transition? 

• What role do ECAs have in supporting the transition in Africa? Are they considering social sustainability as well as environmental? 

• Africa is disproportionately affected by climate change while being responsible for less emissions than developed countries. How can the transition be tackled without being at further cost to Africa?

As part of TXF's side-brand Stages for Change, which champions diversity and inclusivity in the industry, we invite the amazing women that make up the commodities industry to a networking breakfast. The registration desk will also be open for anyone who didn't pick up their badge on day 1. 

To open day 2, we hear from key financiers in Africa on what is driving their decisions around:

• Project pipelines, priorities and bankability 
• Which financing gaps are ECAs and DFIs plugging, and how are they identifying these gaps? 
• How ECAs and DFIs are working to improve the streamlining of their products to finance a fast paced continent?
