Description (excerpt):

The countries of sub-Saharan Africa are confronted with a confluence of energy challenges and opportunities directly relevant for U.S. foreign policy and economic interests.

Failure to expand energy access, reduce energy im- ports, diversify energy sources and manage new- found oil and gas wealth for the benefit of society, especially the poor, directly impacts U.S. interests.
