Sustainable Energy Futures for Tanzania Report: Research Phase Commences
It’s ‘all systems go’ for the curation of the Sustainable Energy Futures for Tanzania Report. This follows a successful consultative research workshop organized by the Sustainable Energy Futures (SEF) Project team – with the support of Heinrich Boll Foundation, in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania on Tuesday 27 August, 2024.
This latest consultative research workshop follows the success of a virtual validation the upcoming SEF Tanzania Report’s research agenda held in July 2024. During this meeting we consolidated insights from relevant energy experts and stakeholders in Tanzania’s energy sector to refine and ensure comprehensive curation of the SEF Tanzania Report incorporating emerging issues, relevant research gaps, policy implementation, the political economy of the country’s energy system, dilemmas of a just energy transitions among other concerns. This virtual engagement was also the launch pad for the SEF Tanzania Research Context Paper: Choices, Challenges and Dilemmas in Tanzania’s Energy System authored by Adam Anthony, the Director of HakiRasiliMali.
Selected researchers commissioned
During the one-day engagement in Dar es Salaam, the SEF project team, commissioned selected researchers for the curation of the Sustainable Energy Futures for Tanzania Report, this followed the successful closure of the call for researchers put out in July, attracting submissions from various interested experts from within and outside of Tanzania.
Ably moderated by our Energy, Environment and Climate Futures Programmes Manager, Passy Amayo Ogolla, the workshop participants were presented with the opportunity to engage with the research context paper as well as meet the selected researchers, and in the course of this interaction, identify most pressing issues that have to be included in the SEF Tanzania Report research phase.
Each researcher presented the research questions they highlighted in their submitted abstracts and convened a SEF Tanzania Research roundtable to discuss the comprehensive research agenda and self-allocate research themes and areas of focus to be done over the next two (2) months.
The session also explored available opportunities of establishing a vibrant and strong community of practice in Tanzania, as this would be of importance in the bid to establish an Energy Reference Group (ERG) for the SEF Project in Tanzania.
