02 Jul 2026 CW Team

Delegations highlighted the need for coordinated investment strategies to mobilise public and private capital for large scale projects. They underlined mechanisms to de risk projects through guarantees and pooled financing and to streamline permitting and procurement processes. Technical collaboration was marked as essential for knowledge sharing on system integration and grid stability.

On infrastructure, members agreed to focus on transport corridors, digital connectivity and energy transmission links that enable regional trade and supply chain resilience. The plan includes capacity building for planning and project management and adoption of common standards to reduce implementation friction. Financial institutions associated with the grouping were encouraged to align financing instruments with long term development objectives.

The measures aim to strengthen long term energy access and to lower barriers for private sector participation across member economies. Stakeholders were urged to pursue transparent governance and environmental safeguards alongside project delivery. The grouping confirmed its intention to continue regular consultations and to monitor progress through established working groups.

Implementation will rely on strengthened institutional coordination at national and regional levels to align planning cycles and funding priorities. Emphasis is placed on enhancing project preparation facilities, standardised contractual frameworks and technical assistance to accelerate bankable project pipelines. Such steps are intended to shorten delivery timelines and to safeguard environmental and social standards while unlocking broader economic benefits.
