Solar met 75% of global electricity demand growth in 2025. Clean power covered all new demand, so fossil generation didn’t rise for the first time since 2020.

Our global institutions were built at a time when most of Africa was under colonial rule.
Many of them are stuck in those times, unable to respond to the aspirations & rights of the African people.
We can only move forward if we make them more effective, fair & inclusive.
