Description
EU cooperation supports developing countries in their access to sustainable energy. It builds on strong political ownership in partner countries.

Similar agreements, setting solid road maps to energy development, have being prepared with 20 more countries in particular with those that have selected energy as a priority for bilateral cooperation with the EU.
