The African Energy Commission (AFREC) has held the second edition of its continental training on Renewable Energy Project Planning, Development, and Financing in Cairo, reinforcing efforts to build Africa’s capacity to turn renewable energy strategies into bankable, actionable projects.

The programme which is delivered with support from the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA) in partnership with the Strathmore Energy Research Centre (SERC) is taking place from 15 to 19 December, builds on the inaugural session held in Nairobi in November and brings together over 40 senior officials and technical experts from African Union Member States.

Hosted by the Government of the Arab Republic of Egypt, the Cairo training covers the full renewable energy project lifecycle, including planning and resource assessment, financing and procurement, construction, and grid integration. The training reflects a growing demand among AU Member States for practical skills to move renewable energy projects from policy ambition to construction and operation.

The earth beneath our feet, often dusty, overlooked, trodden upon, is one of humanity’s oldest allies. From the golden cereal grains that cradle life in our bellies to the potatoes, cassava, maize, yams, vegetables and fruits that nourish our families, virtually everything we eat is born from the soil. Soil is where life begins: a living, breathing matrix of minerals, organic matter, water, air, and billions upon billions of invisible organisms working in quiet harmony to sustain plants, and by extension, people. Without healthy soil, our fields go barren, our food supply falters, and the connection between land and livelihood frays.

This humility of soil, humble beneath our feet yet mighty in what it provides, is why every 5th December the world pauses to observe World Soil Day (WSD), a global call to remember that soil is not dirt, it is life. This year, 2025, the theme is “Healthy Soils for Healthy Cities,” a powerful reminder that even in the heart of concrete jungles, the soil beneath still matters.

According to Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), over 95 percent of the food we consume originates from soils, and soils provide 15 out of the 18 naturally occurring chemical elements essential to plant growth.

ZimbosAbantu, Zimbabwe’s technological and inclusive healthcare provider has revealed its solar-powered mobile clinics in Zimbabwe to improve the healthcare of the citizens.

In Zimbabwe, majority of the population live in rural areas where access to healthcare is limited by distance, cost, and infrastructure deficit. People walk 15 to 20 kilometers to reach the nearest clinic, often delaying care until it’s too late.

Chiedza Mushawedu, co-founder and executive director of ZimbosAbantu Healthcare on Wheels, witnessed these challenges while working for a private hospital in 2016. “We were seeing preventable deaths from treatable conditions, mothers giving birth at home without skilled assistance, and people living with undiagnosed chronic illnesses simply because care was out of reach,” Chiedza explains.

The Executive Director, Global Initiative for Food Security and Ecosystem Preservation (GIFSEP), Dr Michael David, has said that there is a need for new laws in Nigeria to protect the environment.

David spoke recently in Abuja in commemoration of Nigeria’s 65th Independence Day Celebration.

He said that after 65 years of independence, Nigeria needed a law to match its current realities–robust enough to protect people, ecosystems, and future development.

“At independence in 1960, Nigeria’s environment was relatively intact; vast forest cover, healthy mangrove ecosystems in the Niger-Delta, largely clean rivers, low industrial pollution and fewer people, less urban pressure.
