GECCI
The Virtual Meeting Organized under the UN-Energy Secretariat. Similarly, the goal of the GECCI Energy Compact is to promote sustainability, environmental friendliness, millions of green job opportunities, empowerment, and climate smart agriculture.
At the Meeting Prof. Robinson I. Ejilah, Director of GECCI Energy Compact, pointed out that many unelectrified rural communities across sub-Saharan Africa remain dominated by use of traditional fuels and livelihoods dependent on metabolic energy. Efforts to increase access to modern energy services in these communities is predicated on the assumption that it will lead to improved well-being and economic development. There is rarely any consideration of how local culture might mediate the distribution of electrification benefits across different genders and social sub-groups.
How do we improve the influence of culture on gender to achieve energy transition for the economic development of rural communities while improving on the well being of the female gender.
Also, Prof. Abdullahi Ahmed, the Project Secretary, made his remarks on ways to implement the long-time building resilience and capacity-building workshop on energy transition.
Dr. Ahmad Khaleel, GECCI Project Director, Dr. Abdulhamid Tahir Hamid, CEO of GECCI, Mr. Samuel Adakole Onah (Assistant Project Manager), Mr. Gabriel Abraham Bala, Engr. Dr. Felicia Agubata, Ojelola Kayode, Amb. Sadiya Ibrahim Karamba (Business Analyst), and others attended the meeting.

The SDG7 Energy Compact of the Global Environmental and Climate Conservation Initiative (GECCI) is a Next Decade Action Agenda to advance SDG7 on Sustainable Energy for All, in line with the Paris Agreement on Climate Change goals. We are focusing on the achievement of SDG7, to accelerate action for clean, affordable energy for all.
Access Ambition: Local Solar Crafts
- To promote local solar crafts. Small and medium-sized enterprises are important factors in the fight against poverty and job creation. That’s why we plan to use donor-funded projects to support 5 million communities with local solar crafts. It is expected that 5 million rural and under-served citizens will benefit from the Solar Power Strategy by 2030.
