When water becomes power, communities thrive. The Jiji and Mulembwe Hydropower Project is set to transform Burundi’s energy landscape, significantly increasing capacity and promoting sustainability. With support from global partners and Zutari as a key design partner, this initiative will nearly double Burundi’s energy capacity, bringing cleaner, more reliable power to millions. We are proud to be a part of this venture and contribute our expertise in engineering and design to make this vision a reality. As clean energy begins to flow, a brighter, more resilient future emerges for Burundi. 🔗 Read more about this remarkable project and its recent inauguration: https://lnkd.in/dH2MhFhB #Zutari #EngineeringImpact #JijiRiver #SustainableDevelopment #Burundi Rudolf Steenkamp Rudolf van Wyk

What if one nature-based solution could deliver all three? ✔️ Restoring degraded ecosystems  ✔️ Creating clean, renewable energy  ✔️ Providing sustainable incomes for rural communities In Namibia, it already does.  Otjikoto Biomass Power Station is the country’s first biomass power plant - using FSC-certified bush biomass. By applying circular economy principles and global sustainability standards, Namibia is demonstrating how environmental challenges can be transformed into economic opportunities.

🔖 Did you know, off-grid solar solutions can meet up to 80% of agricultural energy needs across Africa? Join Sowrya Kilaru and leading experts from GOGLA, Ibriz & Ecofrost SA-NV, SNV, REEEP - Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Partnership, and Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH as they unveil how Decentralised Renewable Energy (DRE) is transforming food systems from the ground up. From solar-powered irrigation systems that are turning arid lands productive, to cold storage solutions preventing post-harvest losses, to processing facilities that add value right at the farm gate,these technologies are creating resilient food systems while boosting nutrition outcomes. This isn't just about energy access; it's about food systems transformation, economic empowerment, and building climate-resilient agricultural communities. #GAINatAFSF #YouthinFST #AccelerateFST

RMI’s Energy Transition Academy (ETA) has launched its Global Women in Clean Energy (GWiCE) Fellowship, a program designed to strengthen women practitioners' technical and leadership capacity, and to catalyze a more inclusive and equitable clean energy workforce in their regions. With cohorts in Africa, and soon Indonesia, the GWiCE Fellowship combines technical and leadership training, mentorship, and networking to prepare women to lead the deployment of clean energy solutions including minigrids and hydropower. Alongside technical training, GWiCE fellows learn from peers and women leaders and conclude the five-month program with an in-person workshop focused on leadership skills development, including strategic thinking and stakeholder engagement. On the eve of New York Climate Week, this work highlights the critical role of women’s leadership in shaping a resilient, sustainable future. It also reminds us that energy access is not merely a cornerstone of a sustainable energy future, it is a catalyst for social progress and inclusive economic development.
