US presidency backs Bots, Nam power deal

Last week, the US State Department’s Africa Bureau announced that the Biden-Harris administration had selected the Botswana, Namibia solar partnership as a project to support. The announcement was made at Biden’s two-day Leaders Climate Summit held last week and bringing together 40 Heads of State to commit to various climate-related goals.

Botswana, Namibia, the African Development Bank, as well as the International Finance Corporation and the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development, signed a Memorandum of Intent towards the project earlier this month.
