AWEaP

African Women in Energy and Power (AWEaP) initiative. A programme designed to accelerate African women entrepreneurs’ participation in the Power and Energy sector.

Eradicate Energy Poverty

AWEaP is premised on the conviction that to eradicate energy poverty on the African continent, Africa needs commercially viable, multi-stakeholder driven initiatives that will ensure the meaningful economic participation of women.
