Energy and connectivity solutions have been identified as structuring investment sectors, important to create an environment conducive to economic and sustainable development. IED is thus mandated to carry out the energy services supply and demand and internet connectivity analysis in the Central East region, and to identify investment opportunities for private sector players. |
