Date: 26 - 27 June 2024
Organizer: IRENA
Location: Harare, Zimbabwe
Description: IRENA is pleased to announce that a Validation Workshop is to take place on 26-27th of June 2024 in Harare, Zimbabwe. The workshop is a significant step in our partnership with the Government of Zimbabwe to evaluate and promote the adoption of renewable energy within the agriculture and food sector contributing to the nations shift towards sustainable energy solutions.
IRENA has collaborated extensively with stakeholders in Zimbabwe to carry out a thorough assessment focused on enhancing opportunities for incorporating renewable energy into agrifood value chains. This effort is aligned with IRENA’s overarching dedication to advancing energy transitions through the Empowering Lives and Livelihoods Initiative launched at COP28 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
The upcoming workshop will bring together government officials, experts from industries, entrepreneurs, financial services providers, farmers and delegates from international organisations. The goal is to validate the findings of the assessment, gather valuable feedback from stakeholders, and discuss the development and resourcing of a programme(s) to implement renewable energy solutions in Zimbabwe’s agri-food sector.
