Theme 3: Innovation systems

The institutional perspective: innovation systems
This theme aims at understanding the feasible mechanisms by which different actors (local, regional, national and international) can create the business enabling environment for broader development, diffusion and adoption of renewable energy technologies in East Africa. To do so, an innovation systems perspective is adopted, with a focus at mapping the functioning of innovation systems and their determinants corresponding to newly introduced renewable energy technologies.
