Meet The WISIONS Team In Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire This Week!

WISIONS is participating in the 5th ARE Energy Access Investment Forum in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire this week. Meet us there!

The Alliance for Rural Electrification (ARE), in partnership with the African Development Bank and GET.invest (formely RECP), is hosting the 5th ARE Energy Access Investment Forum in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire from 13 – 14 March 2019.

The Forum convenes public, private and other stakeholders with the goal to boost clean energy access globally and in particular in Africa, where 588 million people still lack electricity. To intensify the exchange with players from and outside Africa, ARE will also hold its Annual General Meeting in conjunction with the Forum the day before.

Building on the success of previous editions, the event will showcase the latest off-grid political and funding initiatives, discuss trends and innovations, and build win-win partnerships through matchmaking.
