The jury acknowledged the unique contribution of the ICDP during its ten years of existence to the global trend against the death penalty and its key role in the international movement that advocates for its abolition. On the 10th anniversary of the ICDP, the North-South Prize recognises its contribution to the promotion of the most fundamental human right – the right to life; and to international solidarity and partnership. 22 personalities and 23 states from all over the world contribute to the mission of the ICDP with the purpose to act universally for the achievement of this common goal.

The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) is promoting the expansion of renewable energy in Egypt by supporting one of the first green private-to-private projects in the country, with an initial US$4.2 million loan to TAQA PV for Solar Energy, TAQA Arabia’s renewable energy subsidiary.
The loan is part of a financing package of up to US$10 million to expand TAQA Arabia’s private-to-private renewable energy business.
The EBRD funds will finance the construction and operation of a 6 MWp solar photovoltaic (PV) power plant located at Dina Farms in the Beheira governorate, 80 km from the Egyptian capital, Cairo. This PV power plant will enable Dina Farms, one of the largest dairy farms in Africa, to cover part of its energy consumption with clean energy. TAQA PV for Solar Energy will sell all of its generated energy to Dina Farms under a 25-year power purchase agreement (PPA).
