Power Africa was an initiative founded by Barack Obama to help provide electricity in Africa.
An initiative by the United States to increase electricity supply in Africa has been dismantled by US President Donald Trump’s administration after more than a decade of work, Bloomberg News reported on Wednesday, citing people familiar with the matter.
Some remaining programs, particularly those aimed at connecting projects with US companies, may be retained under other US agencies, the report added. “Each program is undergoing a review with the goal of restructuring assistance to serve US interests,” Bloomberg reported, quoting a State Department spokesperson.
