Germany’s recent commitment to expand renewable energy access across Africa is an important step for communities most exposed to climate impacts, particularly at a moment when proposed cuts in the 2026 German budget for development cooperation risk slowing progress. Clean energy helps create jobs, strengthen health systems and build long term stability.

As Chancellor Merz prepares for upcoming meetings with African and European leaders, Germany has a powerful opportunity to support broader investments that help defeat poverty and advance shared economic success. This includes prioritizing health, education and opportunities for women and girls.
