Women in Renewable Energy in Africa (W-REA) 2023 Mentoring Program

The Women in Renewable Energy in Africa mentoring program addresses the gender gap in the renewable energy sector and aims to advance the careers of mid-career women working in the energy transition.

To strengthen the role of women as agents of change in the energy transition, IFC’s Women in Renewable Energy in Africa Network (W-REA) in partnership with Energy2Equal and the Global Women’s Network for the Energy Transition (GWNET), launched the second cohort of this 9-month program for women professionals working in renewable energy in sub-Saharan Africa. 

 About IFC: The International Finance Corporation (IFC) — a member of the World Bank Group —  is the largest global development institution focused on the private sector in developing countries.
