SDSN Solutions Initiative Announced
A partnership with Italian energy company Eni to find solutions for energy access in sub-Saharan Africa will become one of the first Solutions Initiatives of the SDSN.
Eni CEO Paolo Scaroni is a member of the Leadership Council responsible for the strategic decisions of the Network.
The Energy for All in Sub-Saharan Africa Solutions Initiative is supported by a scientific research team led by Professor Vijay Modi of Columbia University, taking guidance and co-ordination with the principles of Sustainable Energy For All (SEFA) of the United Nations, in which Eni is actively involved.

Thanks. I would like to learn more about this initiative. As East African SusWatch Network, we have just prepared an alternative report on the progress in implementation of the East African Climate Change Policy commitments in relation to rural energy supply in the Lake Victoria basin: http://www.easuswatch.org/phocadownload/resources/UCSD%20-%20e-mail.pdf
“…Such reflections must not be the exclusive province of experts and statisticians. We have to leave behind the culture of experts who talk only among themselves, each in their own field.

“Everyone seemed to be doing their own job properly on its own merit. And according to standard measures of success, they were often doing it well.

I would like to ask you kindly to consider the possibilities described in Desert Ice Project – http://www.deserticeproject.com
SDSN Solutions Initiative are very wonderfull.
I think but BURUNDI my country will be among the first countries where ENI can do the experiences for energy access. We are in East African Community but the gapp of energy is so lower when we compare with other countries in our community.
