Work Package 1: Knowledge and strategy building

The activities conducted in the framework of this work package help the partners to better understand the socio-economic implications and impacts of RE/EE, to evaluate correctly the associated tradeoffs and goal conflicts, to draw the right policy conclusions and to direct them toward local socio-economic development. Enhanced awareness of decision makers leads to an improved quality of policy choices which in turn translate into improved framework conditions for local markets. The multiple linkages and synergies between energy and development promotion policies can be leveraged for local value and job creation.

The activities conducted within this work package consist of the following main items:

► Assessing worldwide good practices and success factor for RE/EE employment creation in developing and emerging countries (SE4JOBS)

► Assessing RE/EE employment effects and potentials in MENA countries

► Providing RE/EE guidance documents and tools for policy makers, investors, and technical experts
