REEEP uses its eight regional secretariats and two African based local focal points and the diplomatic resources of its partners to maximise its international impact and output. REEEP is keen to encouraging governments, both at a national and local level, to become active members of the partnership.

We believe that by encouraging both national and local governments to join REEEP, they can signal their intent to work with other REEEP partners from other governments, business, finance and civil society to expand the global market for renewable energy and energy efficiency.

Governments have a crucial role to play both internally, regionally and internationally to set the legal, policy, trade and finance conditions to encourage the development of viable renewable energy and energy efficiency projects which can not only bring sustainable development benefits, but lasting greenhouse gas reductions.

REEEP is only as strong as its membership, and through our diplomatic efforts we aim to share knowledge, communicate across national boundaries and work to spread best practice in order to overcome the barriers to the development of renewable energy and energy efficiency, and the solutions exist - it's not too late to make a difference. But we have to act. Government, Industry, Civil Sociey and individuals need to join together to tackle the problem. In acting to support this effort, we believe that REEEP is a valuable tool which helps its partners in achieving a sustainable energy future.
