I am a beneficiary of this partnership and would like to celebrate this recognition! :)

In December 2015, just a few months after The Centre of Renewable Energy and Industrial Maintenance (CERMI) of Cabo Verde was officially inaugurated in order to build capacities in renewable energy and energy efficiency, I had the opportunity of 'experiencing' the Centre (with a solar farm on site, air flow considerations displayed, energy management in use, etc). My interest in energy efficiency and sustainable building practices peeked after visiting CERMI, during the "ECOWAS Regional Training Workshop on Energy Audit for buildings", organized by ECREEE. I stayed on for a two-day Workshop for the validation of the JTA - Regional Certification Scheme for PV off-grid Installers, also organized by ECREEE, in partnership with IRENA and GIZ (with CERMI as the venue!)

The collaboration between ECOWAS Centre for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (ECREEE) and CERMI for 10 years has been beneficial to West Africa, especially with respect to capacity building.

Congratulations and kudos to the teams!
