📢 WiGH will launch its Africa Chapter at the Global African Hydrogen Summit on September 3rd at the Avani Stratos Rooftop in Windhoek, Namibia. Under the theme “From Ambition to Action: Fuelling Africa’s Green Industrial Revolution”, the Summit will feature heads of state, African and global ministers, and representatives from across the energy value chain and from over 65 countries. It is therefore the ideal platform to launch the Women in Green Hydrogen (#WiGH) Africa Chapter. As a Supporting Partner of the Summit, the team members of the Africa Chapter have already been involved in including as many women's voices as possible in the Summit: in the Strategic Conference Programme, in the Youth Programme and in the Media Lounge and Library. What's the state of gender inclusion on the African continent? "To address gender gaps, a growing number of countries are integrating gender-related targets into their policy and regulatory frameworks. Between October 2021 and October 2022 seven countries in sub-Saharan Africa made significant strides in enhancing women’s participation in their economies. Gabon and Côte d’Ivoire have emerged as leaders, implementing multiple reforms to improve women’s access to employment and finance. Many African countries are now incorporating gender considerations into various energy sector policies and regulations, thereby increasing pressure on organisations to become more #genderinclusive."
