Investing small-scale renewable energy in rural areas

Upscaling investment on small-scale renewable energy in rural areas

Within the framework of the Sida-funded REGEND initiative, ESCWA organized a regional multi-stakeholder forum titled “Upscaling Investment on Small-Scale Renewable Energy in Rural Areas: a Cross Sectoral Approach”, in partnership with the National Agency for Energy Conservation (ANME).
 
The forum, held in Tunisia from 16 to 17 October, highlighted a diverse range of policy and financial incentives to address barriers and increase investment in small-scale renewable energy through a cross-sectoral approach, which was implemented in Jordan, Lebanon and Tunisia, and is being extended to Algeria and Mauritania.
