SACREEE Training session

This training will consist of online workshops with staff selected by SACREEE

Investment, Innovation and Entrepreneurship

The SADC region lacks conditions and infrastructure to support clean technology innovations by SMEs. There are very few platforms to identify innovators, develop their ideas and provide them with skills and knowledge and ultimately link them to financing, so that new technologies can be developed, scaled, and launched into the mainstream.

Therefore, SACREEE launched a specific SADC Renewable Energy Entrepreneurship Support Facility.

SACREEE’s activities in this area include:

Capacity Development

SACREEE has a mandate to build the capacities of market enablers and market players to develop and implement renewable energy and energy efficiency investment projects/ programs in the region.

The following activities are gea

Knowledge Management and Awareness

Through our Knowledge Management and Awareness activities, we harvest and share information on good (and poor) practices to support implementation of renewable energy and energy efficiency investment projects/ programs, and communicate progress made in scaling up access to energy services.

Policy Advisory

Policy and regulatory frameworks are increasingly transcending borders hence SACREEE is promoting the regional approach in renewable energy and energy efficiency policies and strategies. The overall approach is to develop harmonized policy, regulatory, and institutional frameworks conducive to broader and accelerated uptake of renewable energy and energy efficient technologies and practices in the region and Member States. Gender Mainstreaming in energy policies and programmes is prioritised.
