Project Preparation for Renewable Energy Projects in Africa: Washington, DC, January 26, 2016
A South Africa Event on 2016-01-26 08:30:00
Seminars scheduled for other locations in Africa and US listed below. This one-day seminar precedes the Powering Africa conference being held in Washington, DC. The Project Preparation seminar is an introduction to the project development process, walking participant through the key elements, activities, and processes. It is particularly helpful for projects that are just an idea or in the early stages. It is suitable for government agencies, private sector, communities, developers, technical teams, and technical support agencies. The seminar, and other options, is also excellent for building holistic capacity in organizations that develop and/or support projects in Africa. Developing renewable energy projects is not just a technical task, but involves a full range of elements to develop a sustainable business model. This business model takes into account ownership structure, communities, understanding requirements for funding, capacity, technology, financial models, environmental and market analysis, etc. Project developers, and their stakeholders, regularly find a heavier burden to bring all the necessary pieces together for projects in Africa. Many project developers find that having the technical capacity and/or connections is not sufficient to develop a bankable project. The Afribiz Foundation is offering this seminar as a part of its Developing and Structuring Bankable Projects in Africa initiative, which provides capacity building, technical assistance, and funding for early to middle stage projects. Seminar Modules The following are the modules in Project Preparation: Introduction and Key Components of Projects Project Development Process and Project Definition Developing and Managing Projects: Idea to Concept Developing and Managing Projects: Concept to Prefeasibility Developing and Managing Projects: Prefeasibility to Feasibility Leveraging Key Stakeholders, Networks, and Value Chains Developing Project Ecosystems & Partnerships Developing and Managing Projects: Feasibility to Funding The take-home seminar materials include templates for Project Definition and Concept Document.
