Capacity Building to Strengthen Sustainable Implementation of Renewable Energy Technologies for Rural Energy Access
Methodology
- Conduct needs assessment and pre-implementation surveys in all 4 countries to determine project target locations, training needs and setup baselines
- Develop 10 training modules in Green Economy and Renewable Energy, customized and translated for four countries (Fiji, Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, PNG). Available for free to download on this website. Trainer Guides (English HERE), Learners Workbook (translated HERE)
- Conduct pilot community trainings in each of the four countries to seek feedback to further fine tune and finalize the training modules
- Apply the Train-the-trainer approach to train ~8 trainers in each country
- Goal to train 3000 people in remote rural communities in all countries (~750 people per country), while targeting 40% Women and 20% Vulnerable groups participation
- Target 70% or more of participants to agree that their knowledge on GE and RE has increased post training

Overview
Goal: To contribute to increased energy access and reduction of CO2 emissions through sustainable use of natural resources and renewable energy technologies in rural areas in Fiji, Vanuatu, Solomon Islands and PNG
Objective: To strengthen informed and inclusive decision-making by resource owners and local government officials for integration of Green Economy (GE) and Renewable Energy (RE) into Local Level Planning and to Strengthen Implementation of Renewable energy (RE) infrastructure for Rural Electrification
The project aims to accomplish this by organizing and conducting training sessions in rural areas of all four countries for local government officials, traditional/community leaders, women and vulnerable groups, youth, and local technicians. Trainers will be centrally trained and dispatched to rural areas to deliver the training.
Target Countries
Fiji, Vanuatu, Solomon Islands, Papua New Guinea (PNG).
