Valentina Guido Bergamo, Senior Associate at RMI, joins as guest host on this episode of The Energy Talk podcast recorded in Kampala, Uganda during the Energy Access Investment Forum (EAIF) in 2025.
We discuss the role of women in Africa’s clean energy transition through the Africa Minigrids Program (AMP) and the Global Women in Clean Energy Fellowship, including the launch of its first cohort across Nigeria, Ethiopia, and Zambia. This episode also features interviews with Farida Ahmed Karim, AMP Project Manager in Comoros, and Sylvie Vavizara, Regional Director at Madagascar’s Ministry of Energy and Hydrocarbons, highlighting leadership, community impact, and efforts to advance gender equality in the minigrid sector.
The Africa Minigrids Program (AMP) is funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF), led by UNDP and implemented in partnership with RMI and the African Development Bank. Some activities are also supported by the Governments of Denmark and Luxembourg.
