As knowledge was recognized as a key factor for the sustainable development of clean and secure energy supplies, this programme aimed to spread the necessary know-how along the value chains of green energy markets.

Building on the activities of the first Green Banking Africa project, which was being implemented in Senegal and Uganda, and through country-specific capacity building activities, the project aimed to support the development of a pipeline of high-quality projects for international climate finance.

The agreement signed in Paris during the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP21) is proof of the key role renewable energy and energy efficiency play in the international climate change mitigation efforts. While the green markets keep gaining momentum, Egypt, Jordan, Morocco and Tunisia enjoy the necessary natural resources for the widespread implementation of renewable energy and energy efficiency projects. Local professionals with the appropriate know-how will be able to profit from new business opportunities in a growing industry, which additionally presents manifold benefits (reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, energy security and job creation, among many others).
