Senior Advisor for ASEAN-RESP Project
Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH is the German International Cooperation implementing sustainable development on behalf of the German Government.
The Renewable Energy Support Programme for ASEAN (ASEAN-RESP) is jointly implemented by the ASEAN Centre for Energy (ACE) and the German Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) and supports regional exchange to improve framework conditions for renewable energy (RE) in the ASEAN.
As a regional project, ASEAN-RESP implements activities with relevance for all 10 ASEAN member states (AMS). Through its close cooperation with ACE and other relevant regional institutions, the project supports the AMS in better making use of existing policies and experiences and in exchanging regional know-how.
The project concentrates its activities on the following main fields of activity:
Networking within the ASEAN RE sector;
Technical support to and advice on RE policies and framework conditions;
Knowledge transfer and capacity building in the sector.
The starting point for project activities is the vast experiences with RE that already exist in the AMS. By identifying and promoting good practices and successful approaches, ASEAN-RESP contributes to enhanced regional cooperation and integration. The setup and steering of focus groups complement the project strategy.
Particular attention is attributed to the inclusion of the private sector since, for the development of a sustainable renewable energy sector, the know-how and commitment of the private sector is a core success factor.
