About the event

What can, and must be learned to improve community development in the REIPPPP, the largest renewable energy programme ever undertaken in South Africa?

This was the question that 150 diverse participants came together to explore at a dedicated Learning Event, ‘Deepening REIPPPP’s Community Development Impact’ in February 2020. The event was funded by USAID in partnership with the IPP Office, and supported by the industry associations SAWEA and SAPVIA. It was hosted at the Industrial Development Corporation in Johannesburg.
