In addition, an inclusive and resilient recovery needs must be underpinned by green and equitable growth while ensuring a just energy transition to achieve the fundamental goal of access to electricity for all on the continent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe have 500 million Africans that have no access to electricity,&nbsp;and&nbsp;this must change,\u201d Mr. Pedro emphasized, urging Africa to tap its natural endowments to localize strategic value chains such as the development of batteries and electric vehicles&nbsp;,and renewable energy, including solar and wind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Besides, Africa needs to operationalize local content policies and national suppliers\u2019 development programmes to accelerate the emergence of globally competitive SMEs and expand the job market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mr. Pedro said the full implementation of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) Agreement would generate the fundamentals for Africa\u2019s recovery because of the large market of 1.3 billion people that the free trade area offers.&nbsp;The ECA is working with Regional Economic&nbsp;Communities&nbsp;to formulate relevant strategies for the implementation of the AfCFTA and climate action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mr. Pedro highlighted that through the Africa Regional Collaborative Platform,&nbsp;the&nbsp;ECA has worked with various partners in building an African narrative and content for COP27 at which Africa had a strong presence. He stressed the opportunity of developing carbon credit markets in Africa.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOur target is that if we succeed in selling&nbsp;carbon that is sequestered at $120\/t,&nbsp;then we will be generating about $82 billion a year&nbsp;in additional revenue,\u201d Mr Pedro noted. \u201cThat money is more than what you can get from development assistance and if that can be translated into&nbsp; sustainable livelihood projects then we will&nbsp;simultaneously&nbsp;have climate action and poverty reduction.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ECA is also working on projects to increase the value proposition of conservation where local communities&nbsp;&nbsp;earn a dividend from conservation efforts and, thereby, become the best agents for conservation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ECOSOC Coordination Segment was created by the United Nations General Assembly in June 2021 as an essential part of a range of measures to strengthen ECOSOC and enhance its ability to better deliver on its Charter role to coordinate the UN system and its subsidiary bodies in the economic, social, health, environmental and related areas.<\/p>\n<div class=\"pdfprnt-buttons pdfprnt-buttons-post pdfprnt-top-bottom-left\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>African countries should institute wide-ranging fiscal reforms to expedite sustainable recovery from multiple crises which have hindered industrialization and economic diversification, the Economic Commission for Africa\u2019s (ECA) Acting Executive Secretary,&nbsp; Antonio Pedro, has urged. \u201cEnsuring a sustainable recovery, which protects populations and economies from the shocks of future pandemics and other crises, will require a<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":527180,"featured_media":477021,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"aside","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"translated_post_url_fr":"","_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[12046],"tags":[21000],"class_list":["post-477020","post","type-post","status-publish","format-aside","has-post-thumbnail","category-leaders-en","tag-antonio-pedro","post_format-post-format-aside","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v21.5 (Yoast SEO v27.8) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Wide-ranging reforms will aid Africa\u2019s sustainable recovery, says ECA\u2019s Antonio Pedro - Financial Afrik<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Headed by Adama Wade and his team of 20 journalists, Kapital Afrik offers strategic and financial information to executives and managers.
