CONFERENCES WITH A CONSCIENCE


africa-energy-forum.com


Here at EnergyNet, we like to do things a little differently.We believe that conference companies have a responsibility to give back to the communities they work in, which is why we run a number of non-commercial funding platforms and initiatives as part of our commitment to the sector.

In 2013 we started the EnergyNet Student Engagement Initiative (ESEI), promoting high achieving African students studying Engineering, Economics or Law. ESEI promotes localisation and employment to leading international businesses that may themselves struggle to locate such talent.

This year we’re hosting an Africa Challenge Cup football tournament is hosted in partnership with KOHLER, principle partner of Manchester United, and Clarke Energy, a KOHLER company, to raise money to send solar lights and chargers to the victims of devastating Cyclone Idai. The programme will continue next year at aef 2020 in Barcelona, to continue delivering value to those most in need.

Our commitment to being a responsible business and a champion of social, gender and racial equality includes:• Our commitment to all-women moderators at aef this year (of which 52% are

African) and to the broader delegate base welcoming over 700+ aspirational women entrepreneurs and stakeholders

• Our ongoing support of the victims of Cyclone Idai – the Africa Challenge Cup • EnergyNet’s social programmes where we have privately funded renewable energy

projects for female African entrepreneurs• Our commitment to over 100 top African students (EnergyNet Student Engagement

Initiative) over the last six years

In this booklet you can find out more about our 2019 initiatives, why they exist and what you can do to support them.

MEET OUR 2019 STUDENTS

Abdelrahman Ahmed Mohamed Ayoub EGYPT Cairo University

I am a senior student at Faculty of Engineering at the Cairo University Mechanical Power Department. I have had many internship and training experiences in different fields. In addition to participating in many volunteering activities and international competitions, I

am hoping to specialise in renewable energy resources and their conversions to use them as replacements to non-renewable energy source. My graduation project and research is about integrating water heating solar system with industrial boiler which services industrial process. We are then trying to integrate it with boiler services power generation purposes in order to benefit from the existing steam power station and reduce the amount of fuel it uses for the process. These will return back with many benefits, particularly: 1)saving fuel 2)saving environment. I am hoping to reach a solution as the whole world is about to face an energy problem, non-renewable energy sources (fuels) are about to finish, and we have started to face unusual weather conditions as a result of environmental problems such as global warming and greenhouse effect, etc.

Ahmed Mohamed Ali Hassan EGYPT Helwan University

Tabitha Muthoni Mugo SOUTH AFRICA (Kenya national) University of Cape Town

My name is Tabitha Muthoni Mugo. I am an Advocate of the High Court of Kenya. I am currently undertaking my Masters of Law degree (LLM) at the University of Cape Town (UCT). Prior to joining UCT, I was an Associate at Issa & Company Advocates, a leading

law firm in Nairobi. My contribution to the energy sector will be to develop and implement the legal framework in relation to feed-in tariff policies. Energy security can be achieved by the diversification of the sources of energy that feed into the national grid. Renewable sources of energy for example solar energy and wind energy should be prioritized. Energy powers the economy and an optimally functioning energy sector is critical for Africa to achieve sustained economic growth both at a macro & micro economic level. I seek to apply the principles of energy justice to policies on energy and ensure that these policies are implemented.

I believe that focus should also be directed towards rural electrification. It is worth mentioning that Kenya has made commendable efforts in rural electrification. Lighting up the rural areas ensures reliable access to energy to all citizens and promotes socio-economic development.



Yasmin Elsayed Abdelaleem Mosellhy EGYPT University of Cairo

I am Yasmin Moselly, a second-year law student in the German University of Cairo (GUC). It is often hard to articulate how I choose to spend my time. However, I can highlight the most important aspects of my life. I can describe myself as a full-time student. My

academics are one of my biggest priorities. However, I do not value knowledge that is not utilized for the welfare of others. Therefore, I joined the GUC Model United Nations in order to raise awareness on the global conditions.

This year, I led a team of 25 individuals to raise awareness on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Alongside my team, I organized multiple awareness campaigns on women’s rights, youth marginalization, and climate change. This experience was quite challenging, as it made me discover how I can truly develop. It also motivated me to take on bigger projects in order to reach a wider audience. Therefore, I proceeded to work with the UN development program in Cairo as a UN SDG Advocate in order to raise awareness on the national scale. I have learned that my experiences shall keep shaping the person I become; thus, I try to choose them wisely.

THE AFRICA CHALLENGE CUP



RESPONSIBLE CONFERENCING IN ACTION: AFRICA ENERGY FORUM LAUNCHES THE AFRICA CHALLENGE CUP



Cyclone Idai was one of the worst storms on record to ever hit the African continent. The storm was the deadliest and costliest in the South-West Indian Ocean in more than 100 years with over 1,000 people killed. One month on and the impact of the cyclone is raising fears that a massive cholera epidemic could break out, with more than 4,000 registered cases and 7 fatalities already.

A FOOTBALL TOURNAMENT WITH MANCHESTER UNITED LEGENDS TO SUPPORT VICTIMS OF CYCLONE IDAI

WEDNESDAY 12TH JUNE 2019

“The hardest man in all the town,” as immortalised in song form, Wes Brown is assured of a place in United’s history as one of the toughest defenders to represent the Reds.



The Africa Energy Forum (aef) has teamed with KOHLER, principal partner of Manchester United, and Clarke Energy, a KOHLER company, to raise £50,000 for victims of the Cyclone. The ‘Africa Challenge Cup’ football tournament is a major networking event which takes place on the evening of Wednesday 12th June at the stadium Os Belenenses, Estádio do Restelo in Lisbon, Portugal.

This year’s Africa Challenge Cup sees Manchester United’s Quinton Fortune and Wes Brown actively managing the teams on the day and participating in a medal ceremony for the winners.

The stadium hire is fully funded by EnergyNet, and KOHLER and Clarke Energy are funding all other cost-related elements of the tournament – so 100% of any money raised goes to disaster relief for the victims of Cyclone Idai.

Delegates attending the conference are invited to watch the matches and participate in photo opportunities with the two Manchester United legends. Some 1,000 delegates are expected to attend this important event alongside all government delegations from across the continent.

Wes Brown, Manchester United Legend, will manage the Rest of World (ROW) teams



EnergyNet has donated £20,000 to disaster relief efforts in Zimbabwe through the provision of 1,350 WakaWaka Solar Lanterns and Power+ Solar Charging Power Packs to support those shut off from energy, who live in darkness once the sun goes down. Further generous support from donors Baker McKenzie and Clarke Energy, who each have a team in the football tournament, has brought the total to £30,000.

Working with WakaWaka and the Miracle Mission Trust, an organization which facilitates sustainable transformation for Zimbabwean communities, EnergyNet’s donation alone will benefit over 5,000 individuals in frontline communities within two weeks of the investment being made.

Camille van Gestel, Founder of WakaWaka, commented; “When recovering from a disaster nothing is more frightening than to have to spend your evenings in utter darkness. Having light is a basic necessity, enabling people to pick up their lives also after sunset, to cook, work and do homework. WakaWaka can literally enlighten, perhaps even brighten the lives of people.”

EnergyNet’s Managing Director Simon Gosling commented, “We hope to raise £50,000 annually through the tournament for important causes such

as Cyclone Idai and we’ll work with our partners in any way necessary to make this possible. Conference companies must play a responsible role in the markets they serve, and we’re proud to lead the way. I hope the sector will support this initiative and make the ‘Africa Challenge Cup’ an equivalent to Soccer Aid for the continent.”

Baker McKenzie commented, “Cyclone Idai has had a massive impact on thousands of people in Zimbabwe, Malawi and Mozambique. We’re delighted to support the Africa Challenge Cup at the Africa Energy Forum in raising much needed funds to bring power and light back to those affected.”



ABOUT WAKAWAKA WakaWaka’s are the world’s most efficient solar powered phone chargers and flash lights. The company who makes them, also sells to western consumers.

For each product they sell, they commit to “Light Up A Life”, so to provide

at least one person with a safe, sustainable source of light. Over the past few

years, the company has impacted the lives of well over 1.5 million people

already and has done a lot of disaster relief work with organizations such as

the International Red Cross, Save the Children, Habitat for Humanity, IOM,

The International Rescue Committee, Amref Flying Doctors and many others.

WHEN RECOVERING FROM A DISASTER NOTHING IS MORE FRIGHTENING THAN TO HAVE TO SPEND YOUR EVENINGS IN UTTER DARKNESS. HAVING LIGHT IS A BASIC NECESSITY, ENABLING PEOPLE TO PICK UP THEIR LIVES AFTER SUNSET, TO COOK, WORK AND DO HOMEWORK. WAKAWAKA CAN LITERALLY ENLIGHTEN, PERHAPS EVEN BRIGHTEN THE LIVES OF PEOPLE.
