About
The landscape of development and development finance is undergoing dramatic shifts, with important ramifications for energy transitions in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Supporting equitable and investable approaches requires strategies and evidence that respond to these shifting dynamics. This event will bring together thought leaders, Duke alumni, students, and practitioners to discuss how impact-driven businesses, private sector capital, and concessional finance can adapt and thrive in this evolving environment.
This gathering will offer attendees the opportunity to engage in rapidly developing sectoral discussions, connect with the James E. Rogers Energy Access Project (EAP) student and alumni community, and contribute to shaping EAP’s strategic direction for the next decade. Additionally, we will take this opportunity to recognize and celebrate M.A. Rogers’ generous gift to EAP, which will enable the program to expand its impact in the coming years.
Goals of the Event
- Strengthen the network of Duke alumni, professional partners, and students working on energy transitions in LMICs.
- Facilitate meaningful engagement and exchange on leading edge issues that inform research agendas, advance policy work, and equip students with insights into real-world challenges in energy access, development, and investment.
- Identify priority sectoral challenges and opportunities that could and/or should shape EAP’s focus over the next five years.
Event partners include the Center for Energy, Development, and the Global Environment (EDGE) at the Fuqua School of Business; Global Energy Access Network (GLEAN); Nicholas Institute for Energy, Environment & Sustainability; and Sanford School of Public Policy.
