Connecting stakeholders with data, insights, and partnerships to power Africa’s energy transformation.
Gas for Africa is a pan-African initiative supported by the African Petroleum Producers Organization (APPO) and Hawilti, in partnership with the International Gas Union (IGU) and the Africa Finance Corporation (AFC).
Hawilti is a leading provider of economic intelligence and strategic research dedicated to Africa’s growth story. We generate data-driven insights that illuminate the continent’s opportunities, helping businesses, investors, and policymakers make informed decisions across rapidly evolving markets. By focusing on sectors and transactions with significant socio-economic impact, Hawilti bridges analysis and action — shaping strategies that advance sustainable development and long-term value creation across Africa.
African Petroleum Producers’ Organization (APPO) is the continental energy organisation that brings together petroleum-producing countries in Africa to coordinate policies, enhance cooperation and promote sustainable development of the African hydrocarbon sector. It aspires to be the world’s major institution of reference on African hydrocarbon matters, while making energy information and data about its member countries accessible for education, research, and decision-making.
AFC was established in 2007 to be the catalyst for pragmatic infrastructure and industrial investments across Africa. AFC’s approach combines specialist industry expertise with a focus on financial and technical advisory, project structuring, project development, and risk capital to address Africa’s infrastructure development needs and drive sustainable economic growth.AFC has 46 member countries and has invested over US$15 billion in 36 African countries since its inception.
