- Build decentralised energy grids and institutions that support fair e-Mobility access.
- Pursue electrification of government fleets, electric taxi and bus networks through innovative financial incentives and subsidies.
- Work with multiple strategic decision-makers and interest groups in SADC to establish a shared developmental vision harnessing the opportunities presented by the e-Mobility transition.
