Work Package 1: Knowledge and strategy building

The activities conducted in the framework of this work package help the partners to better understand the socio-economic implications and impacts of RE/EE, to evaluate correctly the associated tradeoffs and goal conflicts, to draw the right policy conclusions and to direct them toward local socio-economic development. Enhanced awareness of decision makers leads to an improved quality of policy choices which in turn translate into improved framework conditions for local markets. The multiple linkages and synergies between energy and development promotion policies can be leveraged for local value and job creation.

The activities conducted within this work package consist of the following main items:

► Assessing worldwide good practices and success factor for RE/EE employment creation in developing and emerging countries (SE4JOBS)

► Assessing RE/EE employment effects and potentials in MENA countries

► Providing RE/EE guidance documents and tools for policy makers, investors, and technical experts

Work Package 2: Advice and support for improved support policies and support tools

Helps partners to specifically develop and deploy policies and tools that allow them to maximize the potential socio-economic benefits for local stakeholder groups - specifically in terms of employment, value and income creation - and to foster the latter's participation in the emerging RE/EE markets at both national and international levels. This will support the industrial and technological catching up of MENA countries and multiply markets opportunities specifically for MSMEs.

In the framework of this work package, RE-ACTIVATE is currently focusing on the following priority activities:

► Facilitating Local RE/EE Cluster Development in MENA and International RE/EE Cluster Cooperation with Germany and Europe
► Promoting the Development and Consolidation of Particularly Promising and Labor-Intensive Market Segments for RE/EE in MENA

Work Package 3: Advice and support for skill and capacity building

Helps partners to specifically build up and strengthen technical and organizational competencies and capacities at both individual and institutional levels which they need to effectively implement the decisions they have taken, to deliver the quality that is required, and to reach the objectives they have set for themselves, especially in view of their envisaged participation in emerging RE/EE markets.

In the framework of this work package, RE-ACTIVATE is currently focusing on the following priority activities:

In the framework of this work package, RE-ACTIVATE is currently focusing on the following priority activities:
► Developing, Disseminating, and Pilot Testing of Adequate Quality Standards and Quality Assurance Mechanisms for RE/EE Professional and Further Training (Quality4Training)
► Developing and Implementing Human Capacity Building Activities for Local Key Stakeholders in Selected Priority Areas

Work Package 4: Regional Network Building and Knowhow Transfer

The activities conducted in the framework of this work package allow the partners to engage in a mutually beneficial exchange and to learn from relevant experiences elsewhere. This supports the reinforcement and intensification of cross-border cooperation and potentially also the interlinking and harmonization of energy policies and systems, paving the way for the emergence of (more) attractive and dynamic regional markets for RE/EE products and services. Where applicable, relevant experience inside and outside the MENA region is mobilized and put at the disposal of participants: always with a view to maximize and leverage the socio-economic benefits of RE/EE technologies.

Activities within this work package are mostly organized in the framework of or back-to-back with large international gatherings such as the UNFCCC Climate Conferences (COPs), the World Future Energy Summit (WFES) in Abu Dhabi, the Beirut Energy Forum (BEF), the Arab Forum for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (AFREEE) and the Arab EE Day, the latter two in Cairo. This approach helps to raise additional synergies.

The main cooperation partners for this work package are the Regional Center for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (RCREEE) in Cairo, the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) in Abu Dhabi and Bonn, the Lebanese Center for Energy Conservation (LCEC, organizer of the BEF), and last but not least the League of Arab States (LAS). It must, however, be noted, that the meetings organized under the work packages 1-3, too, often involve participants from other countries. Therefore, they, too, support cross-border knowhow exchange and network building, albeit in way that is more focused on a specific issue area which does not necessarily concern all the countries of the region.

The sector-specific, region-wide knowhow exchange within GIZ also plays an important role in this respect: RE-ACTIVATE is co-coordinating the New Employment Promotion Task Force of the Sector Network MENREM (which encompasses all GIZ projects in the Southern and Eastern Mediterranean working in the field of climate, energy, and water). Further, it participates in the Employment Promotion Work Group of the Sector Network MINO (which encompasses all GIZ projects in the Southern and Eastern Mediterranean working in the field of sustainable economic development). The experiences which can be mobilized with their help therefore accompany and support the activities under this work package. RE-ACTIVATE also actively contributes to the biannual global sector meetings of GIZ (MATA & FATA), as well as to more specific events organized by MENREM and MINO.

There are two main types of regional meetings:

The RE/EE Benefits Workshop Series jointly organized with RCREEE and IRENA
The Cluster Cooperation Workshop Series described before under Work Package 2

Five RE/EE Benefits Events have taken place to date:
►The RE/EE Benefits Workshop of 19 January 2015, organized in the framework of the WFES in Abu Dhabi
►The SE4JOBS Regional Experts Workshop of 10 September 2015, organized in the framework of the BEF in Beirut and presented under SE4JOBS in work package 1
►The RE/EE Benefits Workshop of 20 January 2016, organized in the framework of the WFES in Abu Dhabi
►The RE/EE Benefits Workshop of 5 April 2016, organized in the framework of the MENAREC in Kuwait
►The RE/EE Benefits Workshop of 31 May 2016, organized in the framework of the AFREEE in Cairo

Three RE/EE Events are foreseen for the rest of 2017:
►A RE/EE Benefits Conference on Decentralized RE Approaches, to be organized in the framework of the next Arab EE Day in Cairo in May
►A RE/EE Benefits Conference on The Socio-Economic Impacts of Wind Power, to be organized in the 2nd quarter in Tunis
►A RE/EE Benefits Workshop on RE/EE in the Agricultural Sector, to be organized in the framework of the next BEF in September
