Improving infrastructure is vital for economic growth, job creation, and business development. The UK government has established the International Development Infrastructure Commission to accelerate work in this area.
I welcome my hon. Friend's work in this important area. As we look to the UN climate summit in Glasgow later this year, can he update the House on the work with countries across Africa to help them develop their clean energy potential?
I thank my right hon. Friend for his passion for Africa. We are committed to working with African countries to boost renewable energy potential and cleaner energy alternatives. For example, the Africa clean energy programme is working in over 15 countries to increase the deployment of off-grid renewable energy.
