The SEforALL Forum brings together global leaders, innovators, and practitioners to advance bold solutions for an inclusive and sustainable energy future. This year’s discussions will focus on accelerating access to sustainable energy, fostering climate resilience, and driving inclusive development - shaping a future where no one is left behind.

During the event, SNV will focus on:

  • Promoting an equitable energy transition by advocating for inclusive approaches that prioritise underserved communities.

  • Accelerating electrification by ensuring the energy transition supports economic growth, job creation, and cleaner energy solutions.

Energy Hero Awards

During the Forum, the SEforALL Energy Heroes will be announced. The BRILHO Mozambique programme, implemented by SNV and funded by Sida and FCDO, has been shortlisted for its contribution to driving the energy transition by providing funding, expertise, and technology. Its initiatives support renewable energy, energy efficiency, energy access, inclusion, CO2 reduction, and climate resilience.

On 13 March, a special session will honour energy transition champions across regions who have exemplified exceptional innovation and leadership. With awards in two categories, changemakers and innovators. This ceremony highlights the impact of individuals and organisations advancing clean energy solutions.
