Germany supports JETP in Senegal

This week, Germany pledged around 170 million euros for development cooperation in Senegal. Of this sum, 100 million will go toward a socially just energy transition. Last June, Senegal’s President Macky Sall, French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, and other international partners launched a so-called Just Energy Transition Partnership (JETP). According to the German Federal Ministry for International Cooperation (BMZ), this partnership is now filled with life. Overall, 2.5 billion euros are to be mobilized under the JETP with Senegal over the next three to five years.
