SUMMARY:Fortifying Power Africa Recommendations to Advance Core Economic, Development, and National Security Goals in Sub-Saharan Africa
DESCRIPTION:<p style="line-height: 150%;">	As the Biden administration develops policies and priorities for renewed engagement with Africa, there is an urgency to reexamine and revamp U.S. signature initiatives. Power Africa, an interagency initiative coordinated by the US Agency for International Development (USAID), is at the top of the to-do list. A new report led by the Energy for Growth Hub argues that the initiative presents the Biden administration with opportunities to accelerate progress in tackling poverty and help address some of its highest priority foreign policy and development goals.<br><br>Please join the CSIS Africa Program and the Energy for Growth Hub for a joint public event to discuss key findings and recommendations from the report. CSIS Africa Program Director Judd Devermont will moderate a conversation with co-authors and panelists Katie Auth, policy director at the Energy for Growth Hub, Nilmini Rubin, senior associate at CSIS, and Kate Steel, co-founder and COO at Nithio.<br><br> </p><p style="line-height: 150%;">	<em><span><span style="color:#202020">Featuring</span></span></em></p><p>	<span style="color:#004165">Katie Auth</span></p><p>	<span style="line-height:150%"><span><span style="line-height:150%"><span><span style="color:#202020">Policy Director, Energy for Growth Hub </span></span></span></span></span></p><p>	<br><span style="color:#004165">Nilmini Rubin</span></p><p>	<span style="line-height:150%"><span><span style="line-height:150%"><span><span style="color:#202020">Senior Associate, CSIS Project on Prosperity and Development;<br>Advisory Board Member, Energy for Growth Hub</span></span></span></span></span></p><p>	<br><span style="color:#004165">Kate Steel</span></p><p>	<span style="line-height:150%"><span><span style="line-height:150%"><span><span style="color:#202020">Co-founder and COO, Nithio;<br>Advisory Board Member, Energy for Growth Hub</span></span></span></span></span></p><p>	<br><span style="line-height:150%"><strong><em>Moderated by</em></strong></span></p><p>	<span style="color:#004165">Judd Devermont</span></p><p>	<span style="line-height:150%"><span><span style="line-height:150%"><span><span style="color:#202020">Director, CSIS Africa Program</span></span></span></span></span></p><p>	 </p><p>	<strong><span style="line-height:150%"><span><span style="line-height:150%"><span><span style="color:#202020">ORGANIZER: </span></span></span></span></span></strong>CSIS Africa Program and the Energy for Growth Hub</p><p>	<span style="line-height:150%"><span><span style="line-height:150%"><span><span style="color:#202020"><strong>WEBSITE:</strong> https://www.csis.org/events/fortifying-power-africa</span></span></span></span></span></p>
