Glad to be at the #RENEWMENA Conference in Tunis this week! RENEW offers a platform for governments, #HR professionals, and women #engineers & #womenentrepreneurs in the energy sector to discuss the opportunities for women in #energy & #energytransition in the MENA region
The #RENEWMENA Conference in Tunisia comes at a critical time. Jobs are evolving in the #energysector. To meet the demand for skilled workers, attracting and retaining more qualified women and encouraging women #energy entrepreneurs in the MENA region is essential.
Going Forward: one of the tasks of the steering committee will be to formulate recommendations for medium and long-term actions for the integration of energy markets of the five countries, in line with the EU acquis communautaire and Green Deal. WB continues to extend its support
FR, DE, PT & ES could support Morocco in implementing its action, notably by providing advisory assistance and encouraging multilateral and bilateral aid agencies for investment and technical assistance to help achieve the acquis communautaire and the objectives of SET Roadmap
(iii) to propose legislative amendments to support the development of cross-border CPPAs between the five countries (including granting the private sector access to the Moroccan electricity transmission grid)
Morocco commits to (i) work towards the convergence of its legislation and regulation with the acquis communautaire, (ii) to develop a certification system for renewable energy that is recognized by the European Union
FR, DE, PT, & ES to explore opportunities for cooperation mechanisms in accordance with the Renewable Energy Directive 2018/2001 and help Morocco reach the EU energy acquis communautaire.
5 countries signed today in Sharm El Sheikh an Agreement stating the actions to be taken by each party to implement actions for electricity market integration, focusing in the short-term on cross-border renewable energy corporate Power Purchase Agreements (CPPA).
Great to see France(FR), Germany(DE), Portugal(PT), Spain(ES), and Morocco(MA) reach an MOU following a commitment known as the Sustainable Electricity Trade (SET) Roadmap supported by a WB initiative thru a non-lending grant provided in 2016.
As we mark #EarthDay today, we must secure a green & resilient infrastructure worldwide. To achieve that, we need clean #EnergyTransition, transport #decarbonization, digital transformation & mainstreaming #ClimateFinance. The @WorldBank considers this a priority for our planet.
I was honored to be part of a webinar where we discussed people-centric approaches to #DigitalTransformation in Saudi Arabia. We saw in the example of #KSA that, the digital government transformation journey may take time, but it is a rewarding path that all countries must pursue
@MarieMarieNelly@WorldBank Great insights from our participants today. I particularly liked the contribution that an Entrepreneurial mindset finds opportunities for growth even amidst a pandemic.
#EndPovertyDay Future world of work is inevitable, our chance lies in the development of adaptable skillsets aligned to digital technologies and disruptive tech #WorldBank#WorldBankAfrica
