Knowledge Hub

EEP Africa leverages the extraordinary applied learning happening inside its diverse project portfolio to develop a wide range of knowledge products that advance clean energy understanding and awareness. EEP Africa regularly organizes Knowledge Exchange Forums (KEFs), which are open events that bring together clean energy stakeholders for discussions on trends, experiences and lessons learned. The programme includes speakers, panels and roundtable discussions, which offer participants valuable opportunities to share their own successes and challenges. There is also time to network and build professional relationships during an evening reception.
