Governments, companies and other stakeholders often express their ambition to promote a just and inclusive energy transition. However, many are struggling to find ways to move from words to deeds. In this webinar, we will demonstrate how partnerships function as a practical driver of impact by:

  • Showcasing how EKOenergy’s Climate Fund operates through multi-stakeholder collaboration
  • Highlighting the role of different actors (sellers/companies, NGOs, local communities) in enabling project implementation
  • Providing concrete examples of how EKOenergy-funded renewable energy projects improve livelihoods
  • Offering practical insights on how to engage in effective partnerships

Speakers

  • Steven Vanholme, EKOenergy, about how EKOenergy’s Climate Fund enables concrete renewable energy projects in disadvantaged communities
  • Geoanna Corneby, Green Empowerment, about their recent experiences with EKOenergy-funded renewable energy projects worldwide, and particularly in Asia
  • Usman Muhammad from the Nigerian NGO Centre for Renewable Energy and Action on Climate Change CREACC-NG, about their work in remote, off-grid villages in Nigeria

There will be time for questions from the audience.
