The African energy paradox is characterized by dire scarcity and gross under consumption of electricity, oil and gas in the face of an abundant hydropower and hydrocarbon resource base. The deep-seated crisis is thus not due to a lack of natural, but of financial and technological, institutional and human resources. With no single actor being able to weather the challenges ahead, it is evident that modalities for partnership between governments, local communities, the indigenous private sector, TNCs as well as the international governmental and non-governmental communities need to be identified if the burning issues are to be successfully tackled.
