The Executive Secretariat is pleased to inform you that the African Association for Rural Electrification and its members will now benefit a technical and financial support from the Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office - FCDO (ex-DFID, Department for International Development, British technical cooperation) through the Transforming Energy Access - TEA managed by Carbon Trust. This support for “Growing government engagement in energy access“ will run until September 2023.

 

This capacity building and knowledge management program for an amount of £ 1,112,928 (approximately EUR 1,235,000) is administered by our partner SouthSouthNorth - SSN through its branch African Mini-Grids Community of Practice (AMG -CoP).

 

The TEA funding is a subsidy of 80% of eligible expenses. The 20% co-financing will be provided by the CLUB-ER, its members and its partners.

The project activities are composed of:

- Training (regional, interregional, online, study trips),

- Thematic publications, and

- Technical assistance to the executive secretariat.

This capacity building program will be centered around 5 themes which will be determined by mutual agreement between the members of the CLUB-ER. A survey will be submitted to you within a few days to define these.

 

A detailed presentation of the program on Microsoft Teams® will be offered to you on November 19, 2020 from:
