Title: The Pow­er of Health: Accel­er­at­ing the 2030 Sus­tain­able Devel­op­ment Goals

Sum­ma­ry: Clean ener­gy is under­go­ing a cost and per­for­mance rev­o­lu­tion, and health, social and­gen­der-jus­tice crises across Africa are explod­ing. With that back­ground, how do we rapidlyand with resilience accel­er­ate progress on the Sus­tain­able Devel­op­ment Goals? To explorethis ques­tion on basic the­o­ret­i­cal and very prac­ti­cal applied grounds, HETA, (Health­Elec­tri­fi­ca­tion and Telecom­mu­ni­ca­tions Alliance) has emerged as a new tool. This talk will­ex­plore the ear­ly evo­lu­tion and fram­ing ide­al of this clean ener­gy-health-gen­der nexus. Wewill also cov­er HETA+, the inte­gra­tion of indige­nous knowl­edge and tra­di­tion­al med­i­cine intoth­is via a large-scale ‘pilot’ learn­ing project that was advanced sig­nif­i­cant­ly last week at theAfrica Cli­mate Sum­mit in Nairo­bi, Kenya.
