Local Value and Employment through Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency
Date: 26-27 October 2015
Participants: Middle management/expert level from Egyptian institutions in related policy fields, private sector representatives and scientific community
Location: Sonesta Hotel, Cairo, Egypt
Context
The SE4JOBS Project was launched in 2014 as a collaborative effort of six GIZ projects: the regional project RE-ACTIVATE and five sector projects dealing with different aspects of sustainable energy and socio-economic development. It also involves distinguished external experts and key partners of GIZ, especially from adelphi and the FFU. RE-ACTIVATE serves as a coordinator and "secretariat" of SE4JOBS.

The SE4JOBS Project aims to federate and integrate available worldwide experience on how to strengthen the link between local socio-economic development and sustainable energy technologies. The focus is on local employment and income creation. The goal is to provide a set of specific, application-oriented instruments and recommendations helping policy makers and practitioners to develop better policy approaches and institutional settings for an optimal valorization of the socio-economic effects of sustainable energy technologies
In the first phase, the SE4JOBS project targets three countries, namely Egypt, Tunisia and Morocco. The development of the Toolbox was supported by workshops in Rabat, Tunis, Eschborn/Germany, and Beirut in 2015. The workshop in Cairo was another milestone on this way.
Objective of the Training Workshop
- Introduction to the Toolbox aim and structure
- Application of the toolbox to the case of Egypt: identification and assessment of key questions and challenges for a cost-effective and quality-based roll-out of sustainable energy
- Collection of insights and recommendations on how to harness Egypt’s job and potential in the field of sustainable energy
- Inform the development of of an that will offer possible pathways for strengthening the socio-economic benefits of sustainable energy in the country

Main Conclusions
- This training workshop in Cairo has been the first of its kind and can be seen as the starting point for follow-up regional workshops and discussion on the topic of Local Value and Employment through Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency
- The regular meetings and workshops will address specific sub-topics and key questions to be found in the SE4JOBS Toolbox and how to assess the jobs of existing policies
- The workshop has proved once again that bringing different stakeholders on the same table is a key issue to tackle this complex issue.
