This briefing presents key insights from a wider set of briefings produced through the
project Partnership for a Green Transition and Energy Access: Strategic priorities for Africa
and Europe, jointly implemented by the South African Institute of International Affairs
and the Konrad Adenauer Stiftung’s Regional Programme on Energy Security and Climate
Change in Sub-Saharan Africa. The project sought primarily to amplify African perspectives
on the green transition and energy access ahead of the upcoming EU-AU Summit. The
briefing considers the impact of the COVID pandemic for the developing
AU-EU partnership and highlights key policy messages emerging from the briefing series.
