SREP Pilot Country Meetings

SREP Pilot Country Meetings - March 2012 in Nairobi, Kenya
*** See below for program and presentations ***
The third meeting of pilot countries participating in the Scaling-up Renewable Energy Program (SREP) took place on March 5-7, 2012 in Nairobi, Kenya. There was also a field trip to the Olkaria Geothermal site organized by the Government of Kenya on March 10, 2012. Photos from the week can be viewed here.
The objectives of the first two days of the meeting were to provide a space for countries to discuss experiences, lessons learned and best practices with regards to technologies, financing instruments, and private sector engagement; and to exchange views on the design and implementation of systems to monitor results.
In addition, one full day was focused on structured, case study-based learning using Kenya's experience developing their SREP Investment Plan. Practitioners and experts from Kenya's SREP Team worked with Sue Canney, an expert facilitator, to deliver this substantive and interactive Learning Workshop.
