“Energy issues in Africa, particularly around cooking is a matter of life and death, ‘’ she noted, adding that the inter-connectivity of the development with other sectors and other critical challenges, especially deforestation and pollution underpin the need to prioritise initiatives for lasting solutions.
Noting that the health sector, agriculture and other sectors of the economy may remain a mirage without access to energy, Mumba urged policy makers, especially politicians to create leeway that would sustainably address energy concerns. “Africa is a young continent. The average age on the African continent is 19 years old, it’s a no brainer. Can we start rethinking how universities are designing training around energy that is very fit for purpose and relevant to the spaces? We need to look at how universities are looking at sensitisation of young people and providing platforms to share knowledge,” Mumba said.
