Background:
Africa’s poverty and economic stagnation is regarded as one of the greatest tragedies of our time. Three
decades of stagnant growth are viewed as one of the underlying causes of the continent’s distress.
Developing energy infrastructure on the continent is one of the key growth strategies identified for Africa
since consistent power supply is an instrumental tool to attract much needed foreign direct investments.
The DRC, a country endowed with vast potential in hydro power, is tipped to become a central source of
electricity for the entire continent.
