President Hassan said the preparation of renewable projects is costly, calling on African countries to mobilize resources first for the preparation of all renewable projects in the region.

“We must undertake to strengthen our coordination and information on power projects, and the SAPP coordination center’s stature and functions should be enhanced and elevated,” she said.
“To my fellow SADC Heads of State and Government, I would like to convince you that we make the implementation of this compact, Powering Southern African Power Pool with Renewables, a standing agenda item in all our summits,” she said.
Meanwhile, South Africa’s president, Cyril Ramaphosa, yesterday criticised international funders for making it difficult for poorer nations to access aid to fight climate change.
Support from multilateral organizations “is out of reach of the majority of the world’s population due to lending policies that are risk-averse and carry onerous costs as well as conditionalities,” Mr Ramaphosa told the UN COP27 climate summit.
Addressing the meeting in Egypt’s Sharm el-Sheikh, he said “funding institutions need to transform ... the way in which they fund projects that will enable us to develop with regard to climate change.”
