Overview
The project “Promoting Employment through Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency in the MENA Region (RE-ACTIVATE)” is being implemented by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) on behalf of the German Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ). It aims to explore and harness the multiple dynamic linkages between sustainable energy technologies and local socio-economic development.
In particular, RE-ACTIVATE seeks to support the current ambitious plans of MENA states to use renewable energy (RE) and energy efficiency (EE) technologies and applications as a platform and driver for local job and value creation. It therefore puts a particular focus on small(er), decentralized energy generation and conservation approaches, which are particularly labor-intensive and can more easily be sourced locally.
RE-ACTIVATE is contributing by
- identifying and disseminating relevant good practices and success cases among partners and stakeholders;
- supporting the development and implementation of new integrated policy concepts and market development strategies for labor-intensive RE/EE technologies and applications;
- helping to build up and strengthen the necessary technical and professional capacities at both individual and institutional levels;
- working to concretize and operationalize the achieved insights with the help of pilot projects and other on-site measures that have a measurable impact on local employment;
- supporting the exchange of experience as well as the creation of networks both within and among the countries of the region.
The project has a time frame of almost four years: it started in March 2014, and will end in December 2017.
