The Three Ps: A JET Framework for Communities in Africa

The document introduces a Just Energy Transition (JET) framework developed by Natural Justice specifically for African communities to ensure they are equal partners in energy system changes and benefit from the resulting social and economic developments.

• Natural Justice identifies a gap in existing Just Energy Transition (JET) guides, noting that most are either too general or are shaped by the perspectives of the Global North, creating a need for a framework tailored to the specific contexts of African communities.
• The proposed JET framework is designed to help communities empower themselves as partners and is based on three core pillars known as the 'Three Ps': Principles, Policies and Laws, and Practicalities.
• A Just Energy Transition is viewed as a mechanism not only for altering energy systems but for transforming societies, influencing governance, national development, and the distribution of benefits, as energy is fundamental to rights such as healthcare, education, and water access.
