Oil & Gas: A Vital Engine for African Growth – AEC Urges Support to Protect the Market

African Energy Development

The African Energy Chamber urges the industry to push back against increasing resistance from Western organisations that threaten to undermine the economic opportunities offered by Africa’s oil and gas sector.

Africa’s oil and gas industry is essential for expanding energy access, advancing industrialisation, boosting economic growth, and supporting sustainable development. However, it faces growing resistance from environmental organisations and financial institutions attempting to diminish its impact. With more than 600 million people lacking reliable energy, the continent must focus on developing its hydrocarbon resources while promoting local content initiatives that create meaningful benefits for African communities.
