Project Background Project duration: January December 2012 Countries covered: – Zambia – Tanzania – Uganda – Kenya – Mozambique Kenya Tanzania Mozambique Zambia Uganda

Project Objectives Enhancing the skills and expertise of interested SMEs/agro- industries/tourism entities/rural institutions and financiers on renewable energy development Strengthening the capacity of local, national and regional financiers in the development of pro-poor renewable energy and energy efficiency options in sub-Sahara Africa. Promoting an enabling environment for renewable energy and energy efficiency among SMEs/agro-industries/tourism entities/rural institutions in Eastern and Southern Africa

Expected Activities Phase I: Inception Phase – Launching of the Project Phase II: Project Implementation Phase – Capacity Building Models for demonstration & training Training seminars Attachments – Investment Promotion Identify SMEs in renewable energy to support to scale up operations Identify end-users who could benefit from use of renewable energy – Policy Development and Outreach Promote sound renewable energy policies for adoptions Seminars for policy makers

Progress to Date 10 demontration units (biomass institutional stoves) installed in Uganda Consultative Meetings with financing instutions, donor agencies and other key stakeholders. Signed Cooperation Agreements with 2 Potential National Partners Commissioned 7 studies in project countries (Zambia, Uganda, Mozambique, Tanzania and Kenya) Over 150 potential initiatives have been identified for support

This Workshop… Key Objectives: – Sensitize stakeholders on the benefits of renewable energy and energy efficiency – To bring together stakeholders interested in biomass energy specifically in the development of institutional energy-efficient woodstoves for schools. – Set the stage for replicating the limited success registered in schools in and around Jinja in others parts of Uganda as well as other countries within the region – Propose a sustainable financing mechanism in which schools and other institutions could benefit from by obtaining financing for installation of institutional energy-efficient stoves. – Learn from the challenges facing energy-efficient stove dissemination and options available to overcome the challenges identified Participating countries: Uganda, Tanzania, Zambia and Kenya Participating institutions: – Educational Institutions – Schools and Universities – Government Agencies – CSOs – NGOs – Research Institutions – Micro-finance Institutions Kenya Tanzania Zambia Uganda
