PowerAfrica launched the Women in African Power (WiAP) network to advance the participation and representation of women within the energy sector across the African continent.
The Women in African Power webinar series aims to share knowledge and build the professional skills of women active in Africa’s energy sector.
In WiAP’s second webinar, Designing Bankable Energy Projects, participants were introduced to the IRENA Project Navigator, an online platform providing comprehensive, easily accessible and practical tools and guidance to assist in the development of bankable energy projects.
