KEY POINTS

Large numbers of people continue to live without electricity. Stats show that 12.5 million in Kenya and 42 million in Ethiopia are still unconnected.

Kenya’s power demand is growing 20 percent faster than GDP, while recent annual growth rates of around 10 percent in Ethiopia imply a similar increase in energy demand.

Current sources of energy are either carbon-emitting or climate-vulnerable. 35 percent of Kenyan power comes from thermal sources, while another 35 percent comes from hydroelectric dams exposed to drought risks. These risks are heightened in Ethiopia, where 89 percent of power is hydro-generated.

Geothermal power plants can produce large amounts of power no matter the time or weather, providing a reliable source of clean energy that is resilient to changes in climate.

Kenya and Ethiopia have large geothermal potential; however, growth in the sector is held back by high upfront investment coupled with the risk of drilling wells that are found to be commercially unviable.
Parhelion will work with East African insurers to create an underwriting facility that mitigates the low probability, high-cost risk of unviable wells. This will use insurance capital to de-risk the early-stage development of geothermal projects, making it easier for projects to attract private investment. Parhelion is also planning to launch the GeoFutures Fund, which would invest in nascent geothermal projects.

East Africa has a potential geothermal capacity of 15,000 MWe; however, just 500 MW is operational in Kenya while Ethiopia has installed just 7 MW. With support from the program, Parhelion and FSD Africa forecast a 20% increase in geothermal output for Kenya and a 500% rise in Ethiopia, preventing more than 515,000 tonnes of CO2e per year. This is expected to create 2,600 jobs in renewable energy and insurance sectors while bringing electricity to 5.25 million people who currently live without power.
By building the capacity of local regulators and insurers to engage in underwriting facilities, the program will enable these organizations to apply to same principles to other renewable energy projects. This will deepen the capabilities of the East African insurance market to channel private capital into sustainable development. Moreover, it will enable premiums from underwriting clean energy projects to be retained in the region, rather than the current system, under which local insurers simply act as intermediaries for international counterparts.

Govt sets aside 105bn/- for building Nyerere University of Technology
THE government has set aside $44.5 million (105bn/-) through the Higher Education for Economic Transformation (HEET) programme for construction of the Mwalimu Nyerere University of Technology and Agriculture in Butiama district.

Deputy Minister for Education Science and Technology Omary Kipanga said in a written response to a question by Butiama legislator Abdallah Sagini who wanted to know when the government will officially start construction the institution.

The minister said preparations are in top gear including acquiring a title deed for 573.5 hectares of land, preparation of a master plan, Environmental and Social Impact Assessment and designs.

According to the minister, the programme is being implemented by the government through the ministry of education in collaboration with the World Bank since September this year.

He added that the remaining process was to search for consulting engineers who will now advise on the designs prepare points of reference before the actual construction begins.

However, the MP further queried delays in the beginning of the university with the deputy minister assuring the MP that the processes will end by February next year.

The government established Mwalimu Julius Nyerere University of Agriculture and Technology (MJNUAT) some few years ago with an aim of making it the centre stage of agricultural transformation in Tanzania, and a regional and global player in innovative and societal responsive Agricultural Education and Training (AET).

The University seeks to further consolidate transition in agribusiness by mounting business mentorship schemes for start-up agri-ventures supported by innovative linkages with financial institutions services in providing pro-poor credit support for start-up agribusiness ventures for young graduate farmers.

The institution also aims at mounting vocational and life skills to youths and women groups, to catalyze their participation in agribusiness, thereby reducing unemployment rate among youths in the country.

Na nakwambiaje bro western countries hawafikii viwango vya maendeleo vilivyowekwa na wachina nchini mwao, maisha ya mmarekani wa kawaida ni hovyo zaidi ukilinganisha na maisha ya mchina wa kawaida,

Ndani ya marekani kuna homeless pp like in each and every city .. road traffic congestion kila mahali, no enough rail roads, insecurities and mind you US has only 10 mega cities.. nenda Angalia China Iko na majiji makubwa 100 na kila jiji lina usafiri na usafirishaji wa kutosha, uzalishaji wa kutosha, amani, usafi, maendeleo ya jiji zima (no homeless people) .. haitoshi wachina walivyonoma kuonyesha kwamba they are the top majiji maarufu duniani wanayatengeneza kwao kama yalivyo. Mfano Paris, London na mbadala wa Dubai .. 👇PARIS in china. . London bridge in china 👇. . Chinese Dubai 👇 .

Kutana na massive infrastructure ambazo dunia nzima zipo china tu .. THE LONGEST OCEAN CROSSING BRIDGE IN THE WORLD, it's 55 km Long 👇 . It's done in only 8 good years .. THE WORLD'S BIGGEST INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT.. DAXING 👇 . THE WORLD'S Largest high speed train station. 👇 .

Alafu skiliza hapa wazungu wa kawaida tu waliopata nafasi ya kuitembelea china na kujionea kila kitu kwa macho yao wanavyoizungumzia china na maendeleo 👇 . Alafu atokee fala aseme china sio developed country 😂😂😂 . Eti Australia Iko mbele ya china kimaendeleo 😂😂😂.. naakati inafanya vitu hata hao wanaojikweza kuwa super power hawajawahi na hawatoweza kufanya
 

Tatizo tushakaririi tunatumia standards za Ulaya kupima development za nchi ila kiuhalisia China iko mbali Sanaa ata ukichunguza kwa sasaivi most of the technological inventions zinatokea chinaa

Jamani mnyonge mnyongeni ila haki yake mpee
