Within the framework of collaboration between the Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA) and the Economic Commission for Europe (UN ECE), ESCWA organized, in cooperation with the Energy Investment Company (SIE) in Morocco, a training workshop on “Renewable Energy projects development, finance and business planning”. The workshop was held on the 3rd and 4th of May 2016, in Rabat, Morocco, an ESCWA Member Country, at the Hotel Rabat.
The training is part of the activities included in a United Nations Development Account (UN DA) capacity-building project, led by ESCWA in partnership with UN ECE, aiming at enhancing renewable energy (RE) investments in member countries in the context of sustainable development and climate change mitigation.
The objectives of this regional training workshop were to provide the participants with capacity building material on financial engineering tools and business planning processes, to initiate them in the preparation of bankable RE proposals. The participants in this workshop will include Renewable Energy (RE) project developers as well as experts and other RE stakeholders from ESCWA and UN ECE Member Countries.
