It is particularly helpful for projects that are just an idea or in the early stages. It is\u00a0suitable 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. \u00a0 Developing renewable energy projects is not just a technical task,\u00a0but 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. \u00a0 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. \u00a0 The Afribiz\u00a0Foundation\u00a0is offering this seminar as a part of its\u00a0Developing and Structuring Bankable Projects in Africa\u00a0initiative, which provides capacity building, technical assistance, and funding for early to middle stage projects. \u00a0 Seminar Modules The following are the modules in\u00a0Project 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 &#038; Partnerships Developing and Managing Projects: Feasibility to Funding \u00a0 The take-home seminar materials include templates for Project Definition and Concept Document. \u00a0 To preview sample content access the following webinar session: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=IMVbUre-Kfw \u00a0 Other scheduled seminars: Lagos, Nigeria &#8211;\u00a0February 24, 2016 Johannesburg, South Africa &#8211;\u00a0March 1, 2016 Nairobi, Kenya &#8211;\u00a0March 2, 2016 Charlotte, NC USA &#8211;\u00a0May 2, 2016 London, UK &#8211; June 20, 2016 \u00a0 Strategic Partners \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>at <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/washingtondc.eventful.com\/venues\/law-firm-of-nixon-peabody-\/V0-001-006359866-0?utm_source=apis&#038;utm_medium=apim&#038;utm_campaign=apic\" rel=\"nofollow\">Law Firm of Nixon Peabody<\/a><br \/>\n401 Ninth Street, NW<br \/>\nWashington, United States<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/add-your-event\/\">Add your <em>South Africa<\/em> event for free here<\/a> on MyZA.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>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. \u00a0 This one-day seminar precedes the Powering Africa conference being held in Washington, DC.\u00a0The\u00a0Project Preparation\u00a0seminar is an introduction to the project development process, walking [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[9840],"tags":[9325,428,673,3464,10730,3682,3617,9376,10731],"class_list":{"0":"post-61557","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-eventful","7":"tag-9325","8":"tag-africa","9":"tag-energy","10":"tag-january","11":"tag-preparation","12":"tag-project","13":"tag-projects","14":"tag-renewable","15":"tag-washington","16":"entry"},"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61557","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=61557"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61557\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=61557"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=61557"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=61557"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
