AMP @ EAIF2026
This year, the Africa Minigrids Program (AMP) will be a strategic partner at the annual ARE Energy Access Investment Forum (EAIF), the premier event driving investment in renewable electrification. EAIF brings together stakeholders to accelerate energy access, productive use, commercial and industrial power solutions, and the broader green energy transition. Building on its success since 2016, EAIF 2026 will convene over 1,500 participants, with 500 attending in person and 1,000 online, and French and English interpretation available.
For AMP, this marks its third EAIF participation, following previous Community of Practice gatherings in Lagos, Nigeria and Kampala, Uganda, in 2025. The forum provides a platform to share lessons learned, highlight national project updates, and foster peer learning and network building among energy practitioners.
Two AMP events will be open to the public during the conference. Follow AMP on LinkedIn for updates and daily highlights throughout the week.
