The Africa Energy Yearbook 2010 draws attention to the interdependence of energy, development and the environment. This seminal publication contains specially comissioned articles from governments, corporations, NGO's and academics on how they see this interdependence evolving. It also includes industry facts and directories.
Africa will become a growing feature on the world stage in the coming decade; already its importance as an oil supplier is established. Africa's position in the climate-change debate is perhaps less evident, but still of critical importance if the world is to constrain emissions to manageable levels. Persistent debilitating poverty in Africa is focusing world attention on the effectiveness of aid, with the consequence that greater consideration is being given to the essentials for a functioning state. Without good governance and effective institutions, waste and appropriation arrests progress. But equally, without the energy, transport and communication infrastructure needed for economic growth, Africans will continue to suffer unacceptable levels of poverty.
