Biomass Energy Platforms Implementation for Training in Africa (BEPITA)

BEPITA establishes perennial specialised training platforms for biomass technologies covering two wide regions in Sub-Saharan Africa: the “dry zone” and the “wetland zone”, each of them having specific energy needs and potentials as the quantities of biomass available and processes used differ. The platforms will inventory, classify and organise global educational packages covering the entire biomass energy chain and focus on targeted groups. Platforms would be based in Burkina Faso (“dry zone” base) and Cameroon (“wetland zone” base), within the premises of the BEPITA partners, and clustering a wide range of training activities and services undertaken by experienced actors in training with: - Short term benefit by organising training sessions and workshops for policy makers and private sector representatives with particular attention devoted to transfer of technologies - Long term benefit by reinforcing master level and post graduates as well as professors.
