IAEA IAEA – IRENA Cooperation Trainings on developing models of sub-regional power pools  North Africa  Central Africa  Island countries in Africa (planned) Developing permanent framework for cooperation with a view to enhance the effectiveness and impact of the capacity building efforts by joining the complementary competencies of the two Agencies  Exchange of information on activities, projects and capacity building needs and opportunities  Coordination, identification and selection of candidates for trainings  Exchange of information on international experts and trained professionals  Organisation of joint events

IAEA Challenges in Project Implementation Commitment to the project Continuity of the processes and teams Movement of people Time allocated to project activities Data availability and information access Awareness of government officials of project’s benefits Integration of the project activities with other local and/or internationally supported efforts Local structures, responsibilities and activities must be clearly organised, defined and carried out regularly Benefits of energy planning must be promoted (e.g. through national workshops and dissemination seminars)

IAEA Way Forward? As energy needs are increasing, difficulties in providing energy services are becoming enormous in many developing countries Timely planning activities have to consider all energy supply and demand options Regional and interagency cooperation brings benefits to all parties concerned IAEA  Offers analytical framework, continuous capacity building and support for energy systems assessments and development of regional and national energy strategies, plans and actions  Partners and cooperates with other international organisations and initiatives
