Regional Secretariat Southern Africa
Modern energy services are key components in the economic and social development of Southern Africa. The Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Partnership (REEEP) recognizes energy as a key component in delivering services, improving health, providing sanitation and for poverty reduction.
Backed by national governments, financial and business professionals and NGOs, REEEP is uniquely placed among international initiatives to drive the integration of renewable Energy and energy efficient systems (REES) into national and global energy policy.
REEEP’s regional secretariats provide access to best practice in policy and finance to promote renewable energy and energy efficiency. The International Secretariat engages political, financial and business support to reduce the risk inherent in implementing new policy and financing initiatives.
The REEEP-SA Regional Secretariat is managed by Dr. Thembakazi Mali. The Regional Secretariat is hosted at the offices of SANERI, the South African National Energy Research Institute, in Johannesburg, South Africa. REEEP-SA is building up a growing network of Southern African NGOs, experts and companies in the sustainable energy network. REEEP-SA focuses its activities on the key concerns of the Southern African sustainable energy sector. Some of the most important of these include:
- Facilitating financing through workshops and networking
- Supporting the development and dissemination of innovative financing mechanisms through REEEP-funded projects and events
- Collecting and collating information on important Southern African case studies as a basis for networking, information exchange and political capacity-building
- Contributing to the activities of REEEP-International and providing and access point to the REEEP network in Southern Africa.
