FAQs

  • What is the Lightbulb journal?

    You can find more about the Lightbulb and the African Legal Support Facility (ALSF) on our about page.

  • Who is the target readership of the Lightbulb journal?

    The target primary readership of the Lightbulb is African governments, especially in transitioning states. The ALSF defines transitioning states as countries that are only eligible for grants from the African Development Fund (ADF) and categorised as “ADF-Only Countries” by the African Development Bank.

    That said, the Lightbulb seeks to push the conversation within the African market about the key issues that affect energy project development across the continent.  Hence, each article will also be relevant for developers, local and international financiers, development institutions, other market participants and Africa-focussed lawyers. 

  • How does the ASLF’s energy sector contribute to solving Africa’s energy gap?

    The ALSF is proud to participate in Africa’s efforts to close the energy gap by supporting innovative and cutting-edge technologies which will push Africa towards the forefront of the global energy transition.

    The ALSF supports African Governments to structure and negotiate energy projects across the technology spectrum, including geothermal, coal-bed methane, and renewable sources such as wind, solar photovoltaic, hydropower and green hydrogen. The ALSF is currently supporting several states in negotiating their first independent power producer (IPP) projects and is also advising on the structuring and negotiating of IPP projects in over 30 countries across the continent.

    The ALSF would be pleased to support your energy project. Please email us at [email protected] to discuss how we can assist and cooperate with your government.
