1st Announcement for ARPEDAC Clean Development Mechanism Programme (CDM) & Business Matchmaking Event

Dear WG members,

Season's Greetings,

Re: 1st Announcement for ARPEDAC Clean Development Mechanism Programme (CDM) & Business Matchmaking Event

Are you looking for project funding, partners or experts or assistance to set up a Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) project in the Central Africa Region? Are you interested in knowing what the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) Regional Collaboration Centre Lome (RCC Lome) in partnership with the West Africa Development Bank (BOAD) offer for the private sector working in renewable energy and energy efficiency projects in the Central Africa Region?

Then you'll probably want to join ARPEDAC Clean Development Mechanism Programme (CDM) & Business Matchmaking Event.

What is it?

A one-day event to put project developers, academic, ONGs and financiers in contact for scaling up renewable energy and energy efficiency project development in the Central Africa region through the implementation of CDM. Session one will focus on the funding opportunities available to the private sector working in renewables in rural areas of developing countries and the RCC Lome support of the CDM aspects of the proposed renewable energy and energy efficiency projects in the Central Africa countries. Session two will give companies an opportunity to present a "power pitch" (maximum 5 minutes each) on who they are, their project and what they are looking for.
