About the ACAFE
The African Academy of Energy was promoted as the operationtional headquaters for skills
development, at the continental level during the General Meeting of the Africain Refiniers
Association (ARA) at Cape Town in March 2010.
This choice is the culmination of several meeting and symposiums organized around impor-
tant themes in order to strenghten cooperative relations between refiniers and refining
operators.
In the order to face an increasingly volatile economic environment, refiners
and African operators in the field of energy should make a first move towards
the change through the upgrading of their technical facilitates and the setup
of management tools that are in conformity with the international standards.
Human resources in the heard of these changes, it’s considered as an
undeniable competitive asset that we should know how to promote and
enrich in terms of knowledge, skills, etc. in order to face the challenge of
competitiveness. For all these reasons, we have created the African Academy
of Energy (ACAFE) to promote skills development through a unified cultural
variety.
