The Agenda

The Green Energy Africa Summit brings together ministers and government officials from around Africa with representatives from the global commercial sector. In 2023, we welcomed senior delegates for two days of cutting-edge industry knowledge, negotiations, and transactions throughout our conference and elite networking platforms.

It is also the administrative capital of the Rabat-Salé-Kénitra administrative region, with a metropolitan population of about 1.2 million people. Rabat is located on the Atlantic Ocean near the mouth of the Bou Regreg River, directly across from Salé, the city’s primary commuter town.

MOREA 2023 is a high-level event that brings together representatives from all walks of life to discuss renewable energy and natural gas resources at the international, national, and subnational levels through a combination of in-depth panel and expert discussions with senior-level members of governments and key business leaders and pioneers.

During the Summit, stakeholders will assess progress, highlight successes, and develop solutions to ensure faster, broader progress towards sustainable and affordable clean energy for ALL.

The event will venture into the African energy mix; renewable energies and the natural gas resources market, as well as provide an international business and partnership platform by highlighting Africa’s vast resources of minerals that are critical for multiple clean energy technologies, as well as trade policies that are set to create new export markets.

Africa’s population will rise from 800 million to 1.3 billion people between 2000 and 2020. A report from the WHO/UNICEF Joint Monitoring Programme for Water Supply, Sanitation and Hygiene (JMP), released today during a session of the World Water Forum hosted by the African Ministers’ Council on Water (AMCOW) and UNICEF, estimates that approximately 500 million people now have access to basic drinking water and 290 million to basic sanitation services.

On the continent, however, 418 million people continue without access to even the most basic drinking water services, 779 million lack access to basic sanitation (including 208 million who nonetheless defecate in the open), and 839 million do not have accessibility to basic hygiene services.

According to the research, increasing current rates of growth for safely managed drinking water, safely managed sanitation, and basic hygiene services by 12 times, 20 times, and 42 times, correspondingly, is necessary for Africa to meet the SDG targets.

UNICEF urges quick action at a time when a lack of water exacerbates conflicts and water sources are targeted. We need water, sanitation and hygiene services in schools, especially for the advantage of female students who can skip class due to lack of lavatory access or having to fetch water. Children and women require secure access to water. We need global risk-sensitive and heat-resilient water, sanitation, and hygiene services for kids and their communities as climate change puts more strain on resources. And right away, please.

Within African countries, there are still large disparities between the richest and the poorest, between urban and rural areas, and across subnational regions. In major cities, half the population lacks access to basic hygiene services, and two out of every five persons lack access to securely treated drinking water, sanitation, or both. In rural regions, 3 out of 4 people lack access to clean sanitation, 4 out of 5 people lack access to safe drinking water, and 7 out of 10 people lack accessibility to basic hygiene services.
