Our ask:

Our five asks (in full: access-coalition.org/wp-cont…) #EnergyAccess

New op-ed! Energy transition advocates count megawatts; just transition advocates ask who gets power and who pays. Our Senior Advocacy and Policy Research Officer, Wentland Muhatiah, argues both camps need one set of books, and sets out five practical steps for the @WorldBankGroup and #Mission300 to make energy justice follow the money.

Finance ministers are in Bangkok to talk jobs. For 563 million people in Sub-Saharan Africa, there's no power to work with. Our new blog sets out five tests #Mission300 must pass to turn connections into jobs.

#Mission300 is the right ambition. To deliver it, civil society should be a partner, not an audience. Communities know where the need is and who is still waiting for power. @WorldBank @IMFNews #AM2026 #EnergyAccess #SDG7

At the #WBGMeetings CSO Town Hall, @WorldBank’s @bjerde_anna said civil society can be “the best available method” for its knowledge, reach & community trust. We welcome this. ACCESS calls for civil society to have a formal, & permanent seat in #Mission300 delivery & monitoring.

“𝘿𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙡𝙤𝙥𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙙𝙚𝙡𝙖𝙮𝙚𝙙 𝙞𝙨 𝙙𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙡𝙤𝙥𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙙𝙚𝙣𝙞𝙚𝙙.” - @ajaybanga at the #WBGMeetings CSO Townhall. We agree. For millions still waiting for power, every delay costs jobs, livelihoods and dignity. #Mission300 must be delivered on time.

Our 2026 Position Paper is now available on our website. 563 million people in Sub-Saharan Africa still live without power, and the rural gap is growing. ACCESS asks for five changes to make Mission 300 count. access-coalition.org/powerin… #Mission300 #EnergyAccess #SDG7 #AM2026

Our delegate Wentland Muhatiah will be in Bangkok for the 2026 IMF–World Bank Group Annual Meetings, 12 to 18 October. Let's connect to discuss how we can make Mission 300 count. Watch live: live.worldbank.org #Mission300 #EnergyAccess #AM2026 @WorldBankGroup and @IMFNews

As the #WorldBankMeetings and #IMFMeetings 2026 convene in Bangkok, ACCESS champions clean energy access as a driver of inclusive development, resilient communities and a just energy transition. Empowering people starts with ensuring clean energy works for all.

@ACCESSCSOs mourns a valued board member @kiolijohn champion and friend who contributed greatly to the growth of our Coalition. Our heartfelt condolences to his family, relatives and friends. May his soul rest in peace...

“No woman or girl should die because of how they cook.” In this video, from @ACCESSCSOs ED @patmbogo highlights why expanding clean cooking and energy access is essential to empowering women across Africa. Watch 👇 and learn more about #Mission300:

Energy poverty in Africa disproportionately impacts women and girls-from time spent collecting fuel to health risks from polluting cooking fuels. In our latest blog, we highlight how initiatives like M300 can deliver energy access that works for women: shorturl.at/Lti5l
