At the SEforALL Global Forum 2025, the Middle East Green Initiative’s Forward7 | فورورد7, in partnership with GeCCo - Global Electric Cooking Coalition, MECS programme and UK Aid Direct, announced a new electric cooking (eCooking) Support and Scale-Up to accelerate clean cooking in Sierra Leone. Through a newly signed Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia reaffirms its commitment to global energy access efforts, now extending support to Sierra Leone. The eCooking Support and Scale-Up will be implemented in partnership with the Government of Sierra Leone to support Sierra Leone’s energy transition and green growth strategy: ⁠✅ Scale up off-grid solar-powered electric cooking solutions ⁠✅ Promote women’s empowerment through access to clean energy This initiative demonstrates the importance of integrated energy planning and cross-sector collaboration in achieving universal clean cooking access. Together with our partners, we can accelerate progress and create a cleaner, more sustainable future for all! 💡

The NSIA: Nigeria Sovereign Investment Authority (NSIA), in partnership with Africa50 Group, International Solar Alliance (ISA) and Sustainable Energy for All (SEforALL) has signed a non-binding Heads of Terms for the launch of a Distributed Renewable Energy (DRE) Fund, at the SEforALL Global Forum in Bridgetown, Barbados.   The Fund will help catalyse local currency solutions to develop a bankable pipeline of DRE projects in Nigeria including mini-grids, solar home systems, commercial and industrial (C&I) power solutions, embedded generation, and energy storage to deliver reliable, cost-effective power to homes and businesses. #NSIA #DRE #DRENigeriaFund #SEForAll #energyaccess #sustainability #infrastructure #investment #RenewableEnergy

🌍 Fast-Tracking SDG7: Unlocking the Power of Mini-Grids, Clean Cooking & Energy Planning ⚡ At SEforALL Global Forum 2025, amidst the many impactful sessions we hosted, we joined forces with partners to explore how mini-grids, clean cooking, and holistic energy planning can accelerate energy access and drive real progress toward SDG7.   Key takeaways from the session:  ✅ Integrated planning is essential - incorporating clean cooking from the start enhances mini-grid viability. ✅ Innovative financing & business models can de-risk investments and scale up solutions. ✅ Stronger partnerships between governments, businesses, and communities are vital to overcoming cost and demand barriers.   In the session, Forward7 | فورورد7 initiative reinforced its commitment to sustainable solutions for rural communities, by deploying a project in Madagascar that provides: 🔹 Electricity access to 60,000+ individuals 🔹 Clean cooking solutions for 20,000+ individuals 🔹 E-learning opportunities for 1,000+ students across 2 schools 🔹 E-health services for 3,000+ individuals at 1 health facility 🔹 Communication access for 10,000+ individuals   Achieving universal energy access by 2030 requires collaboration, innovation, and bold action - let’s make it happen! 💡 #SEforALLForum #EnergyAccess #CleanCooking
