      2022-04-01

      Over the past few years, the increase in global food prices, followed by the economic and financial crisis, have pushed more people into poverty, vulnerability and hunger. Even though the number of undernourished people has fallen globally by 13.2 percent from 1 billion to 868 million in the last 20 years Africa’s share in the world’s undernourished population has decreased from 35.5 percent in 1990 to 22 percent in 2019.

      Storytelling is the most powerful way
      for donor and non-governmental organisations to convey their work because
      stories allow audiences to connect on both intellectual and emotional levels. However, much of the storytelling about development work in Africa is unethical and perpetuates harmful and stereotypical narratives about the continent.

      Strategy: Development of a Harmonised Regulatory Framework for AfSEM

      The electricity sector in Africa still faces huge challenges that include low capacity factors and reserve margins, high transmission and distribution system losses, low operating and availability factors and high operating costs, as well as high duration and number of outages and low access rates, amongst others. These challenges have adversely affected the socio-economic development on the continent.
