The African Climate Foundation (ACF) has reiterated its strong commitment to championing green finance as a driver of Africa’s sustainable industrial transformation, during the closing session of the Green Finance Workshop – Addis Ababa 2025.
Speaking to a diverse audience of policymakers, financial institutions, investors, green startups, and development partners, Sahele Fekede, ACF’s Programme Manager for Energy Access and Transitions, delivered powerful closing remarks that underscored the urgency of green finance and the strategic importance of cross-sector collaboration in accelerating climate-aligned growth.
“Green finance is not just a mechanism—it’s a mission to redefine how Africa industrializes,” said Fekede. “At ACF, we support institutions like ACCPA because we believe that locally driven, impact-focused initiatives are critical to translating climate finance into real development outcomes.”
