Scale up renewables and energy efficiency
Within German Development Cooperation with Côte dIvoire, ProFERE is the flagship project of Technical Cooperation in the priority area of Climate and Energy, Just Transition. The project complements the commitment of German Financial Cooperation (KfW) to support the Ivorian government in implementing its renewable energy and energy efficiency (RE/EE) reforms.
The project aims to develop institutional, financial and human capacities to support Côte dIvoire in achieving its Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). It is fully aligned with the countrys sectoral policy and will be implemented in cooperation with the Ministry of Energy (MMPE). Other institutional partners include the Ministry of Technical Education, Vocational Training and Apprenticeship (METFPA), the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research (MESRS), and the Ministry of the Environment and Sustainable Development (MINEDD).
The project comprises four outputs:
Output 1 aims to strengthen the institutional capacity of the MMPE and related government agencies to promote RE/EE. This includes the capacity to develop RE/EE support schemes that can be (co-)financed by international climate funds, and to improve the legal and regulatory framework where necessary.
Output 2 seeks to improve the range of RE/EE consulting and training services offered by private sector associations to their members. The project will work with both demand- and supply-side associations to generate long-term demand for high-quality products and services.
Output 3 supports activities to enhance the MMPEs capacity to monitor the implementation of energy-related measures outlined in the NDCs. To this end, the development of a Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (MRV) system will be supported.
Output 4 works to strengthen vocational training in the field of RE/EE and to increase the number of specialised professionals in this area. New training courses will be developed and integrated into the Ivorian education system to meet current and future demand for skilled workers.
