RE-ACTIVATE in a Nutshell Cross-sectoral regional project focusing on the nexus between Sustainable energy (renewable energy & energy efficiency) Socio-economic development (local jobs & value creation) Supporting market development, knowhow transfer, strategy building for employment-intensive applications at the regional (MENA) level plus in 3 focus countries (Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt) Network structure with teams in Rabat, Tunis, and Cairo Total budget 2014 2017: 5 million Remaining budget 2017: 1,67 million 28/02/2025 Page 2 RE-ACTIVATE Planning Workshop Cairo
Main Objectives of RE-ACTIVATE Help explore and concretize potentials for RE/EE value and job creation in MENA with maximizing effects for local stakeholders. Support employment-sensitive market development through adapted policy approaches, improved framework conditions, innovative support policies, and targeted capacity building. Focus on labor-intensive technologies/applications: distributed generation (mainly PV, wind, SWH, biomass) together with energy efficiency (in buildings, industry, agriculture). Environmental pollution is reduced and the security of supply is improved. Local value is increased and new jobs are created. 28/02/2025 Page 3 RE-ACTIVATE Planning Workshop Cairo
Key Delivrables of RE-ACTIVATE Based on an improved knowledge of RE/EE employments effects, MENA stakeholders agree to promote specific labor- intensive RE/EE technologies as part of a dialogue. Concrete measures to promote these market segments have been adopted and implemented. Local capacities for developing these market segments have been strengthened and verified. The regional exchange in MENA on RE/EE employment promotion has been intensified. 28/02/2025 Page 4 RE-ACTIVATE Planning Workshop Cairo
