The International Energy Agency hosted its first Energy Efficiency in Emerging Economies Training Week for SUb-Saharan Africa from 14 to 17 October. More than 150 energy efficiency professionals from 33 countries in Sub-Saharan Africa came to Pretoria for the event.

Participants were engaged in one of five parallel courses, which focus on energy efficiency in buildings, industry, appliances and equipment, cities, and indicators and evaluation. Experts from the IEA were guiding participants through an interactive agenda, with lectures, discussions, practical exercises, and group activities.

The Energy Efficiency Training Week for Sub-Saharan Africa is supported by:

- Global Environment Fund (GEF)
- United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO)
- Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA)
- East African Centre for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (EACREEE)
- SADC Centre for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (SACREEE)‌
