IEE-VKA12-COOPENER Strengthening local energy expertise in developing countries

Further Information

The objective of this Key Action is to promote and support initiatives in developing countries, which will help to build a critical mass of human capital with up to date knowledge and expertise in energy policy making, energy regulations, energy planning and project financing, as well as in the latest technologies and best practices available for improving the efficiency of energy use, and for increasing the use of renewable energies. Priority will be given to those initiatives which are focused on tackling the poverty agenda through the provision of sustainable energy services for lighting, communications, water pumping, education, health, and wealth creating activities.

Such expertise will be needed for many years to come in the public sector for the development and management of energy policies, regulations and programmes as well as in the private sector for the local development and deployment of energy technologies and services.

The Target areas to be dealt with under this key action are:

• Training and networking for energy policy makers, regulators, and planners
• Training, networking, mobility and study tours for energy professionals
• Strengthening existing Energy Centres, Agencies and Industry Associations
