I’m always advocating for more investment in African women entrepreneurs & leaders. I’m glad to have found an ally in @lyndsayholley!. As she points out, the business case for this has never been stronger. #PoweringAfrica must empower women.

I can't think of a more transformative impact than delivering water to those who need it most. Everyone deserves clean, affordable & reliable water—this is non-negotiable. There’s much more to be done. The @WorldBank Group will do its part.

“Delivering energy is human power!”. @lyndsayholley is spot on. Her experience across Africa proves that expanding electricity access brings both power & jobs to millions across the continent. So good to have her on Talking Development: #PoweringAfrica

The private sector leaders I met yesterday in Addis are ready to seize new opportunities. A strong business environment is a key condition to unleash this potential, creating jobs and opportunities for the people of Ethiopia.

Fruitful discussions with @MoF_Ethiopia Minister Shide & Governor @mihretum on the important reforms being implemented paving the way for economic stability and growth. The @WorldBank Group is steadfast in its support to the country’s homegrown reform agenda.

Great to be in Addis Ababa with @VictoriaKwakwa & our team to meet with government and private sector leaders on how the @WorldBank Group can continue supporting Ethiopia’s development efforts.

Connecting 300 million people in Africa to electricity by 2030 isn’t just possible – it’s achievable. I believed it before. I'm even more convinced today after the Mission 300 Africa Energy Summit. Here are 3 ways to make #PoweringAfrica a reality.

An entire continent behind one goal: #PoweringAfrica.

Malawi is pushing ambitious plans to expand electricity access by 2030. Honored to join President @LAZARUSCHAKWERA in signing the Malawi ASCENT project to power 4.4M people, 1,000 schools & 280 health centers. The World Bank is ready to support reforms and accelerate progress.

#PoweringAfrica has been top of mind at the Mission 300 Africa Energy Access Summit. Much more than talk, transformational action is needed for the rest of the decade, with the potential to impact millions across the continent.

Last week at #WEF25, Africa stood out as the new frontier of growth. But there can be no growth, no jobs, no opportunities without electricity. This week’s Mission 300 Africa Energy Summit is our chance to turn talk into action for 300 million people. #PoweringAfrica @wef.

#PoweringAfrica is essential for creating jobs, fueling growth & improving lives. Closing the energy access gap is possible through global collaboration. Thankful to partners @DamilolaSDG7, @BjorgSandkjaer, @ML_AkinOlugbade & Anna-Karin Jatko for joining us in this mission.
