The Frankfurt School UNEP Collaborating Centre for Climate & Sustainable Energy Finance extends its 2013¹s summer programme once again to offer a Sustainable Energy Finance Summer Academy with a strong African focus, this time in Mombasa, Kenya from the 20 25 October 2013!
Through an innovative combination of practical and theoretical coursework, the Centre’s Summer Academy programme aims to equip decision makers, project developers and investors with the necessary skills to scale up access to clean energy on the African Continent. The Mombasa Academy is delivered by senior trainers that combine both academic-technical renewable energy (RE) and energy efficiency (EE) and banking knowledge unique to the African continent. The coursework includes core courses on policy and regulation and sources of financing for RE and EE development. Technical courses cover the spectrum of project finance, and effective project design to attract financing. These theoretical training components are augmented by practical real-life, on the ground case studies and extracurricular activities. The training sessions, institutional fair and leisure activities as well as several group assignments guarantee superior networking opportunities with other practitioners of sustainable energy finance.
Target Group: The course has a clear finance focus and is suitable for both public and private sector practitioners, including entrepreneurs, project developers, private investors, initiator/fund houses, international development finance consultants and managers, plant operators and manufacturers, engineers and advisory professionals (e.g. law firms, business and tax consultants). Other interested parties, such as academics in relevant fields, are of course welcome to apply to the programme.
