8.  Linking Public – Private stakeholders Gathering public and private actors aroud thematic projects : decision makers, investors, financing institutions and energy companies Training platform for professionnals ( SWH, PV, building...) Certification process ( installers, auditors,...) Developpment of test and standardisation scheme for EE & RE equipments, appliances etc... Example of thematic projects with different actors  Solar promotion « Guarantee of Solar Results » in all MEDENER’S countries  Design & implementaion of new energy label for fridge Lebanon, Tunisia, Turkey, Morocco  Urban energy & environment project, on several themes Waste ( palestine& turkey) Transport ( Morocco, Algeria, Lebabon) Public Lighting MEDENER 8 MEDENER Value-added

9.  Disseminating information  National level ( awareness campaign, trade fairs, etc..)  Regional level through MEDENER Network and others partnerships  Organisation of events Example of promotion :  Publications  Website collaborative platform MEDENER 9 MEDENER Value-added

10. MEDENER and Agencies: a central position in the EE & RE policies implementation  Agencies objectives are consistent with MSP objectives  Expertise exists at national level in EE & RE public bodies  However, a need for strengthening the implementation of national EE & ER public policies  A STEP FOR ACTION to reinforce the agencies with tools such as collaborative programs, twinnings… MEDENER 10
