The shortage has reached acute levels in many of the 20 High Impact Countries across Africa and Asia with the largest access gaps that the reports track using the latest available data from 2018. <br /></span></div><div style="background-color: white;"><div style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">In Rwanda, the energy sector transformation has led to an increase in energy access and investment. The research shows Rwanda as a strong example of how clear polices can increase private sector participation in the decentralized electricity sector. Thanks to this political support, public and private investment for energy in Rwanda was three to five times higher than those of other low-income countries in SSA.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;"><br /></div></div><div style="background-color: white;"><div style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">On a global level, Energizing Finance notes that achieving SDG7 will be impossible without speeding up the disbursement of energy finance commitments. Huge amounts of planned investment and funding support continue to be delayed or face multiple barriers, limiting impact on the ground and depriving vulnerable populations of energy access.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;"><br /></div></div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">An estimated annual investment of USD 41 billion is needed to achieve universal residential electrification, but only one-third of this - just USD 16 billion in commitments - was tracked by Energizing Finance. Further, despite the clear need and opportunity of decentralized renewable energy to reach the majority of those without access, finance commitments for renewable energy based mini-grids and off-grid energy systems remain far short of necessary levels, attracting less than 1-1.5% of the total finance for electricity tracked.<br /></span></div><div style="background-color: white;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: New; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-family: New; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">There is also a woeful lack of volume, innovation and diversity in clean cooking finance. Finance for clean cooking to replace harmful energy sources tripled from USD 48 million in 2017 to USD 131 million in 2018. However, while this growth is an important step forward, it remains just a fraction of the estimated annual USD 4.5 billion required to achieve universal clean cooking access by 2030.</span></div><span style="font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: New;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">As global calls for urgent, ambitious action to deal with the climate emergency increase, Energizing Finance also found a significant increase in fossil fuel finance commitments in 2018, accounting for the largest portion of electricity finance flows for the first time in at least six years. This risks locking countries into decades of high carbon emissions, import dependency and depreciating or stranded assets, posing fiscal, economic and environmental risks for developing countries.</div></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><span style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">In contrast, data shows that finance for grid-connected renewables during the same period declined for the first time since 2013.

Yet Energizing Finance shows a chronic lack of investment in electricity and clean cooking for those that need it most. The little finance that is committed is not being disbursed fast enough, stalling energy access projects that will improve people's lives and grow economies", said Damilola Ogunbiyi, CEO and Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General for Sustainable Energy for All and Co-Chair of UN-Energy.</div></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><span style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">"More worryingly, ahead of a pivotal COP26, fossil fuel commitments have increased, risking profound climate impacts. Countries must seize this moment to recover better from COVID-19 and move away from the energy systems of the past and invest in the renewable energy systems of the future to accelerate access and underpin economic growth. We need sustainable energy for all, and we need it now."</div></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><span style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">Energizing Finance recommendations focus on calling for; urgent, coordinated action from development finance institutions and donors to increase the share of energy access finance commitments in countries that face chronic underinvestment, a rapid increase in targeted funding and policy support from governments to accelerate clean cooking access and an end to financing fossil fuel projects as a mean to close the energy-access gap and align with the Paris Agreement on climate goals.</div></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><span style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">Energy access remains a central component to achieving an energy transition in line with climate goals. Dr. Barbara Buchner, Global Managing Director at Climate Policy Initiative (CPI) who partnered with SEforALL on Energizing Finance: Understanding the Landscape 2020, said: "Year after year, the numbers are showing that we will miss SDG7 targets unless we dramatically increase finance for electricity and clean cooking. We are in the midst of a climate emergency, and it is now more important than ever that finance is Paris-aligned and committed to clean technologies, including mini-grids and off-grid solutions, to expand energy access to those that need it most."</div></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><span style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">Yet finance can only have an impact on the ground if it is disbursed, and disbursed quickly, something that South Pole tracked in Energizing Finance: Missing the Mark 2020. "It is difficult enough to mobilize financing on the scale needed to provide energy access for all by 2030. But the real tragedy that we see unfolding in these poor countries is that only a fraction of the funds that have been committed are actually disbursed. Why is that? On the one hand, the available financial instruments do not match the risk profiles of renewable energy deals we see in these countries.

The participating companies bear all costs of the programme and provide scholarships that cover the living expenses of all participants. </span></div><div style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div><div style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">A total of 47 candidates participated in the latest programme, hailing from countries including Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Côte d'Ivoire, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Namibia, Nigeria, Uganda, and Zimbabwe. SAP chose eight candidates from this year's talent pool.</span></div><div style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div><div style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">"The quality of applicants is increasing every year," says Wiskemann. "It's incredible to see the talent that we can hire through the programme. For the first time, we also had more female candidates than male ones, with very strong female leadership potential in this year's contingent. In a really positive sign, SAP has retained the skills of 88% of this year's participants, and outstanding achievement considering the disruptive impact of the pandemic."</span></div><div style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div><div style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Candidates adapt to disruption</span></div><div style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div><div style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">One such candidate is Nigerian-born Taiwo Ladipo. After being accepted into the programme following a rigorous selection process, Ladipo headed to Bonn in Germany in August 2019. </span></div><div style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div><div style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">"We all took part in three months of intensive German language training before we left to join our companies, and visited different parts of the country to immense ourselves in the culture. Arriving at the SAP head office in Walldorf was a truly memorable experience. And despite the sheer size of the campus, we were amazed at the warm and welcoming atmosphere and the culture of friendliness that SAP embodies."</span></div><div style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div><div style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">However, midway through this year's programme it was interrupted by the coronavirus pandemic, forcing a change in format. "Luckily, many of the participants had already settled into their new roles when lockdown measures were first implemented. With a clear understanding of our roles and what is expected of us, we could quite easily continue working from home," says Ladipo.</span></div><div style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div><div style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">A software developer by trade, Ladipo joined the SAP SME innovations team after graduating from the programme. She now works in a team that develops new innovations to support small and medium-sized businesses. </span></div><div style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div><div style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Launchpad for long-term success</span></div><div style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div><div style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">As a founding member of AFRIKA KOMMT!, SAP has employed a number of graduates of the programme over the past few years. Kwena Mabotja is one such graduate. The Mandela-Washington Fellow and current Director at SAP Purpose and Brand Experience joined the programme in 2013 with a vision of helping African companies run better and become more successful.</span></div><div style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div><div style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">"Prior to my time with AFRIKA KOMMT!, I had no previous exposure to the tech industry," says Mabotja. "My experience on the programme allowed me to develop an interest in technology, especially its potential to transform businesses in Africa through greater efficiency and scaling. Following the programme, I wanted to be part of the SAP Africa growth story as it worked to support the success of businesses on the continent."</span></div><div style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div><div style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">While the programme does focus on technical aspects of the job roles each candidate is meant to fulfil, Mabotja believes its true value lies elsewhere. "Networking is one of the most important aspects of the programme. Some of the people I met during my time in Germany have played invaluable roles in my career development, and greatly helped me find a place in the business where I could make a positive impact."</span></div><div style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div><div style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ladipo agrees. "You need to use the opportunity to build leadership competencies, management skills and more, which all require interaction with a wide range of people. An amazing benefit of working at SAP is how accessible everyone is: you don't need a special title or connection before reaching out to someone. There's a culture of helpfulness and openness that makes it easy to build great relationships."</span></div><div style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div><div style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">After eight successful programme intakes, AFRIKA KOMMT! continues to produce outstanding results with many of the participating companies taking on more candidates than before.</span></div><div style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div><div style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">"Former participants also continue to play a guiding role as mentors to new candidates," says Wiskemann. "In addition, the work over the past twelve years has laid a foundation for greater sustainable economic development and partnership between Germany and several African countries.

The idea is to test every slice of the hypercube, and if there is a single infected individual in the group, then the positive slices indicate the position of that person in the hypercube. With field trials of the approach underway in Rwanda and South Africa, the use of group testing on a massive scale to closely and continually monitor infection in a population provides a promising pathway for the long-term control of COVID-19.
