The Energy Center (TEC) under the Renewable Energy Education Project (REEP) which is being implemented with support from the EDULINK programme of the European Union’s Africa, Caribbean ad Pacific (EU-ACP) Secretariat has organized a training programme to help develop local capacity in Renewable Energy Technology (RET) development and implementation. Participants came from the private sector, academia and the development community including two persons from the Millennium Villages Project of the UN. This session also recorded improvement over the previous session on the gender balance side, as the trainees included one enthusiastic lady. 

During the post-training evaluation, participants expressed their gratitude to organizers and the trainner, Mr Isaac Edwin, for structuring the programme to give exposure on both the theoretical background and hands-on installation. 

At the close of the training, the Director of TEC, Professor Abeeku Brew-Hammond congratulated the participants and urged them to always communicate their ideas and observations to The Energy Center to enable it improve on a continual basis, the quality of its delivery.

The next series of courses will be run in May/June 2011. You may contact the Coordinator of Short Course at daquansah.coe@knust.edu.gh or call +233 266 755 479 to book a place.
