Workshop on: “Improving Access to Modern Energy Services in Mozambique”


Following upon the workshop held as part of the IS-Academy programme RENEW in Amsterdam on Monitoring and Steering of Renewable Energy Programmes in December 2012, a 1-day workshop was organised by ECN and IVM in Maputo on the 7th of May to bring together renewable energy practitioners in Mozambique to gain a deeper understanding of some the issues related to the implementation of energy access projects. More specifically, how can programmes improve access to modern energy services for cooking and household use (electrical appliances) in Mozambique in an effective, efficient and sustainable manner.

The broader aims of the workshop were:
- Networking and information sharing and dialogue.
- Sharing of experiences and identification of key research questions for further research.
- Drawing conclusions based on workshop to improve evidence base on effective practices.
