Just Energy Transition Partnerships In The Context Of Africa-Europe Relations: Reflections From South Africa, Nigeria And Senegal

This paper provides key messages from three African country studies (South Africa, Nigeria, Senegal) commissioned by the Ukȧmȧ platform to examine emerging energy transition initiatives in Africa and the implications for Africa-Europe relations. The specific objectives were:

• 1. to explore the ways in which the narrative of a Just Energy Transition Partnership (JETP) is developing in the concerned African states; 
• 2. identify key elements of a credible just energy transition partnership between Europe and Africa; and 
• 3. determine the conditions for facilitating such a partnership in ways that can promote shared prosperity in Africa and Europe.
