Access Coalition Webinar Series 2019 |
During the last past months, the ACCESS Coalition found out the need to start mobilizing best practices and sharing relevant knowledge among the ACCESS members. For this, the ACCESS learning group (composed by Practical Action, energypedia, GERES, IIED and the Wuppertal institute) wants to initiate a series of Smart-Webinars, starting with productive use of electricity as this is a highly relevant topic for the ACCESS Coalition.
1st Webinar
Energy Access: the role of civil society in the area of productive uses.
Tuesday, 30th April 2019 at 12:00 CEST
Register: https://register.gotowebinar.com/register/3029368237813262349
This webinar will focus on the productive uses of electricity (PEU) and the role of Civil Society Organizations in promoting PEU. Two case studies will highlight experiences from Kenya: Practical Action will focus on milling and ice-making for making a mini-grid viable and Rainforest Alliance will present their experiences of promoting local briquettes manufacturing in tea industries. The webinar will also include a presentation from ACCESS Coalition about its strategy for 2019-2021.
This webinar is the first in a series of webinars that targets knowledge sharing from CSOs operating in energy access for other CSOs and beyond. Please join us!
