Online Meeting of the Pan-Africa Network of Regulators for Clean Air Solutions

Platform: Zoom

Centre for Science and Environment (CSE), a New Delhi, India based public interest research and advocacy organisation has set up a ‘Pan-Africa Network on Clean Air Solutions’ that brings together key regulators from different countries of Africa to foster knowledge-sharing, cross-learning and South-South experience sharing on emerging good practices in the Africa region. The objective of this forum is promoting good regulatory practices, facilitate exchange of ideas and knowledge sharing on emerging good practices in the region around common concerns and strengthening regulatory capacity in the region to support air pollution mitigation and inform and influence action on common issues.

As part of our initiative to carry forward network conversation on solutions to air pollution that are of common interest to the nations of Africa CSE is organising two online Meetings of the Pan-Africa Network of Regulators for Clean Air Solutions on December 18, 2024 (Wednesday) and December 23, 2024 (Monday) at 5 pm to 7 pm India time/2.30 pm to 4.30 pm East Africa time/11.30 am and 12.30 pm to 1.30 pm/2.30 pm West Africa time. The network will deliberate on thematic issues pertaining to clean air action planning, vehicle technology, fuel quality, vehicle import policy, on-road emissions management, mobility and electric mobility and sharing of initiatives and best practices from the Africa region.

This is a South-South forum which has evolved and gathered momentum since 2015 for knowledge support and best practice sharing and promoting evidence based and data driven action and informed implementation strategies. As part of this initiative CSE has organised several Pan-Africa consultation workshops in Africa and training workshops in India to bring together the key regulators from different countries of Africa involved with and focusing on key policy issues of common interest such as air quality monitoring and management, emission standards and fuel quality roadmap including vehicle import policy, electric mobility, transport and mobility transition to understand the areas of intervention and strategy development. This network has participation from 17 African countries (Nigeria, Kenya, Ethiopia, Uganda, Senegal, Ghana, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Mozambique, Mauritius, Côte d'Ivoire, South Sudan, Rwanda, Egypt, Malawi, Tanzania and Zanzibar).
