The entire world is concerned about Global Warming. Namibia is concerned about Power shortages. REEECAP is a capacity building programme on Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency, which is funded by Danida through the Royal Danish Embassy in Pretoria. The Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Institute at the Polytechnic of Namibia (REEEI) was tasked by the Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME) to be the implementing agency for REEECAP, in conjunction with the Desert Research Foundation of Namibia (DRFN) and the Habitat Research and Development Centre (HRDC).

REEECAP has spent one year and a considerable amount of money in analysing a broad variety of problems Namibia has in connection with energy supply and conservation and determining which steps can be taken in the right direction.
This media initiative aims at drawing attention towards the local aspects of the above-mentioned problems. Therefore, REEECAP offers a sequence of ten weekly meetings at the Polytechnic of Namibia, which will be designed to inform both the media and the lecturers of Polytech about the topics at hand. REEEI, being the entity responsible for REEECAP will be in charge of following these issues in future. Specifically, REEEI shall implement the lessons learned from REEECAP and become the hub of information dissemination for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency nationwide, with particular focus on enriching the curricula and activities of Polytech with all aspects of RE & EE.
The weekly meeting is planned to cover the timeslot on Wednesday 11h30 to 12h30 for ten weeks. A well prepared presentation on one of the topics on REEECAP’s programme will be held for 15 to 30 minutes during the meetings.
After that, discussions and further information sessions will be offered to the audience. In case the room and timeslot will be needed for other events, the REEECAP event will be held from 9h30 to 10h30 at the Hotel School.
