Capacity Building

GGGI has been developing plans to work with the Least Developed Countries Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Initiative (LDC-REEEI) in advancing the interests and building the capacity of the regional initiatives that utilizes local expertise rather than international consultants and replicate what works. GGGI interventions are rooted in supporting the Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Initiative of a collaborative effort of partner organizations and the LDC Group to achieve universal access to clean energy for their people through integrated, sustainable and affordable modern energy approaches that scale up the share of renewables in the energy mix and maximize potential for energy savings. As part of the TL work plan 2018, GGGI supported the REEEI and ensured its sustainable energy activities aligned to the structure of the LDC Group 2017-2018 Work Plan (WP). Planned outputs directly addressed and supported LDC member countries on technical support, tracking delivery, enabling learning, fostering multi-stakeholder engagement, and strategic partnerships. The support promotes rapid transformational action to improve policies and to mobilize finance, and will explore effective action in: • Stimulating energy for productive sectors • Strengthening energy planning, to inform target setting and NDCs; • Tackling policy and regulatory barriers; and • Strengthen capacity of LDCs and Learning Exchanges for Regulators, Policy Makers, and Energy Planners.
