SUMMARY:Hydropower Sustainability Standard certified user training: hydropower funding opportunities in Africa
DESCRIPTION:A training organised by the Hydropower Sustainability Alliance with support from the International Hydropower Association and Mainstream Energy Solutions Ltd. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAfrica faces the greatest impact from climate change\, affecting water resources and energy needs. Despite these challenges\, the continent has a wealth of untapped hydropower potential that could provide clean\, renewable energy to millions. However\, many of the existing hydropower plants are ageing and require modernisation to improve efficiency and sustainability. The Hydropower Sustainability Standard not only guides these improvements but also helps projects to access more funding by meeting international best practices. \nTRAINING OBJECTIVES\n\nLearn about the performance requirements of the Standard\, including international good and best practices\nUnderstand how the Standard can be used to unlock private sector finance\nDevelop the expertise needed to conduct thorough sustainability assessments\, crucial for Africa's hydropower development\n\nJoin us in Abuja to gain the skills and knowledge necessary for advancing hydropower sustainability across projects in Africa's changing landscape.
