Sahara Group has called for stronger mobilisation of sustainable investment and climate finance to accelerate Africa's development, strengthen economic resilience, and create lasting prosperity across the continent. Speaking at a United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) roundtable on Sustainable Global Investment, Economic Resilience and Climate Financing, Dr. Kola Adesina, Group Managing Director of Sahara Power Enterprise Group, said Africa's growth ambitions depend on building productive economies that can withstand economic, environmental, and geopolitical shocks. Mahmoud Ali Youssouf, Chairperson of the African Union Commission, said Africa's 1.5 billion people and growing market create a significant opportunity, but the continent must accelerate the development of African value chains and remove barriers to trade to drive industrial transformation. He identified affordable energy, better infrastructure, access to finance, skills, technology, and clear standards as key priorities.
