The UAE-Senegal partnership extends beyond diplomatic co-hosting. A tangible example is the work of Masdar (Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company), which has implemented a large-scale battery energy storage system in Senegal. This project, a critical part of the country’s power infrastructure, enhances grid stability and enables the integration of more renewable energy sources. Reliable electricity is the backbone of modern water sanitation and irrigation systems. For workers in the water and agricultural sectors, stable energy means more efficient and automated processes, reducing manual labor and exposure to water-borne hazards. This investment underscores a vital truth: achieving clean water and sanitation (SDG 6) is impossible without also advancing affordable and clean energy (SDG 7), demonstrating how interconnected these goals are for improving livelihoods and working conditions.
