12. Outstanding results: Following the endorsement of the Ministry of Education, the subject “Renewable Energy Sources” has been introduced in the list of optional courses for 5 th to 9 th grade students Institutionalization of the training module on renewable energy sources, biomass, and energy efficiency for district and local authorities by the Academy of Public Administration (110 local leaders already trained) Based on the Bioenergy Camps implemented by MEBP, the Continuous Education Institute and Gutta Club developed a guide-regulation on organizing thematic summer camps in the field of renewables and energy efficiency. It will serve as a tool for other institutions and projects that will wish to organize similar thematic summer camps in the future, including beyond the lifetime of the Moldova Energy and Biomass Project Capacity Development 12 Moldova Energy and Biomass Project
