Abstract

In this paper, the Sovereign Wealth Funds (SWFs) of oil- and gas-rich developing countries in Africa are examined as a potential renewable energy (RE) investment tool. If proved successful in this role, the SWFs could offer a solution to the broadly discussed phenomenon of resource curse. In particular, this research report handles the capacity of SWFs to ameliorate barriers that hamper private energy investments in RE.

Keywords:

resource rich countries, resource curse, resource revenue management, sovereign wealth funds, renewable energy finance
