Developing clean industry across the region

MPP is forging new connections across Sub-Saharan Africa to mobilise business, finance, government and civil society leaders to speed up the shift to clean materials, chemicals and fuels.

Sub-Saharan Africa with its abundance of solar energy and natural resources is emerging as a potential industrial centre and part of the new industrial sunbelt. The pipeline includes ~40 clean industrial projects across the region. Unlocking the pipeline of announced projects would boost economic growth, create jobs and strengthen energy and food security.
