Industrial leaders from the eight East African Community Partner States convened for a two-day virtual training on industrial energy efficiency aimed at strengthening private sector capacity to improve energy performance and industrial competitiveness.


The EAC Regional Clean Cooking Network convenes clean cooking stakeholders across the 8 EAC Partner States and beyond to deliberate on pressing issues around energy access, with a particular focus on clean cooking in the region. These events foster dialogue that firm up actionable priorities by different actors towards advancing the adoption of clean cooking as a development priority.


The East African Community region has significant renewable energy potential; in partnership with GIZ, EACREEE laid the foundation for assessing the region’s readiness and identifying opportunities to advance green hydrogen and Power-to-X development. If this potential is fully harnessed, partner states are in a position to reduce their reliance on fossil fuels in heavy industry, the maritime and aviation sectors, and strengthen trade, tourism and food security.


The East African Community (EAC) region is abundant in diverse renewable energy sources, including solar, wind, geothermal, tidal, and bioenergy; unlocking their full potential depends on targeted investments, enabling policies, and strong regional cooperation.


The East African Centre of Excellence for Renewable Energy and Efficiency (EACREEE), represented by Mr Collins Owuor, participated in two key events organised by the United Nations Environment Programme’s United for Efficiency (UNEP-U4E) and the United Nations Industrial Development Organisation. The events, held alongside the Thirty-Seventh Meeting of the Parties (MOP37) to the Montreal Protocol in Nairobi, Kenya, focused on accelerating the adoption and implementation of energy-efficient and climate-friendly cooling appliances in the East African Community.
