The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) awarded a $1,000,000 Cooperative Agreement under the Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas (CFDA 98.001) program to the Tony Blair Institute, a non-profit organization. The five-year award, running from June 2024 to June 2029, supports the Power Africa Government Leadership Program (PAGLP). The objective of the PAGLP is to advise senior government leaders in sub-Saharan Africa on strategy, policy, and delivery to strengthen the enabling environment and government leadership to end energy poverty, advance a carbon-free future, and bolster investment and innovation in the power sector. The anticipated outcomes include developing and adopting strategies and plans to advance power sector development, proposing and adopting national or regional policies and regulations to accelerate universal and equitable access to clean energy, enhancing competitive procurements for new power generation and transmission/distribution capacity, increasing investment flows into regional and national power sectors, and improving coherent delivery by power sector government departments and agencies.
