The East African - $777bn local capital is lynchpin to Africa's renewable energy boom

I collaborated with Ariya Capital Group’s CEO to draft and refine a thought leadership article published in The East African examining Africa’s urgent energy investment gap and the barriers preventing renewable energy projects from reaching financial close. Adapted from a companion article in CFI.co, this version was tailored for a regional audience, emphasizing the need for stronger local leadership and investment to unlock the continent’s vast renewable energy potential.

My work focused on shaping the article’s narrative structure, refining key data points, and working closely with Ariya’s leadership to ensure the message resonated with African policymakers, investors, and business leaders while reinforcing the broader themes highlighted in the international publication.
