“The AfDB is our bank and the private sector must be involved in this important initiative for our countries. On his part, Adesina outlined the initiative’s target of providing 10,000 MW of solar-generated electricity to 250 million people across the Sahel. “Your strong political support and policies to make solar energy affordable across the Sahel will be critical.
