Who We Are
SANEDI’s focus is mainly developing innovative, integrated clean energy and resource efficient solutions that aim to catalyse growth and prosperity. As technologies develop and mature, opportunities for innovative energy solutions that can make a meaningful contribution are becoming increasingly relevant for improving energy access and lowering the country’s carbon footprint.
SANEDI operates in a global context shaped by several megatrends including climate change, urbanisation, demographic shifts, Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) and growing inequalities. We have programmes of action and have adopted three themes to strengthen and drive our mandate, Climate Change and Decarbonisation, Service Delivery within the Municipal Environment, and Information Knowledge and Technological Convergence.

Our Vision
Sustainable living for growth and prosperity in Africa is a multifaceted and pressing challenge that demands comprehensive solutions. The continent faces a myriad of environmental, social, and economic issues that require a holistic approach. From climate change and resource depletion to poverty and inequality, the path to sustainable development must consider the interconnected nature of these challenges.
Our Mission
Using applied energy research and resource efficiency, the objective is to develop innovative and integrated approaches capable of catalyzing not only economic growth but also fostering prosperity across the continent. This requires a shift towards sustainable practices that prioritize the efficient use of resources, harness renewable energy, and promote environmentally conscious policies. By strategically combining these elements, the aim is to create a sustainable framework that not only addresses current environmental and economic concerns but also lays the foundation for a resilient and prosperous future for Africa.
