EUEI PDF - Africa-EU RECP - Action Area Technology, Innovation, Capacity Development
Kurzbeschreibung:
Projektziel
The Africa-EU Renewable Energy Cooperation Programme (RECP) aims to substantially
accelerate the use of renewable resources in Africa and increase access to energy services. Action Area 4: Technology, Innovation, and Capacity Development will focus on two
aspects: a policy and planning exercise and analysis in order to conceptually further
develop this Action Area and thereby guide activities on renewable energy research, innovation,
and education in Africa. The second aspect is the provision of support to vocational training
and higher education. Based on a capacity needs assessment for these activities, activities on
vocational training and higher education will be initiated by partner demand but will notably
rest on the prime principle of the RECP: complementing already existing donor initiatives (such
as the Environment and Energy Partnership (EEP) supported by the governments of Finland,
Austria, and UK). Activities will be implemented through the EUEI PDF (supervised by its
Governing Board members). Activities will vary according to technology field and institution. They comprise for example
train-the-trainers concepts, curriculum development, as well as exchanges of lecturers and
students. Activities will build on existing partner structures and existing partner strategies such
as PRSPs or specific strategies for the education or energy sector and complement these.
