There is a focus on empowering women at the US-African Leaders Summit which concludes on Thursday.<\/p>\n

In a published document\u00a0outlining a partnership between the two regions, a project called Accelerating Women\u2019s Empowerment in Energy was announced.<\/p>\n

It will initially invest $1m (\u00a3810,000) “to help secure women\u2019s economic futures through green jobs, with a focus on Kenya and South Africa,” the White House says.<\/p>\n

“The program will provide grants to local organizations to address barriers to women\u2019s entry, promotion, and retention in the clean energy sector and increase women\u2019s participation in the clean energy workforce,” a statement from Washington continued.<\/p>\n

Dozens of leaders from the continent are currently in Washington for the event – the first such hosted in eight years.<\/p>\n

The summit is seen as a US attempt to re-assert its influence in Africa to counter Chinese involvement<\/p>\n
