But beyond the hype, millions of people remain affected by severe poverty, and at the root of this lies a perennial problem: energy poverty. Could hydropower hold the key to energy access in Africa? Energy poverty is rife in Africa.

The STEPS Africa Sustainability Hub, which was announced during a meeting held in Kenya last year (6 November), aims to create a network of African researchers with interest in sustainable development. David Ockwell, the deputy executive director of Social, Technical and Environmental Pathways to Sustainability (STEPS) Centre, which is located in the UK-based Institute of Development Studies, said the hub will help Africans address critical issues of development through research and capacity building. “This will be a research network that will look at pro-poor pathways to low carbon development and energy transitions that meet the needs of the poor.”

David Ockwell, STEPS Centre, According to Ozor, Africa needs energy in industries to aid innovations and technological developments, an area that he says the hub should focus on.
