Grant Description

In June 2016, China organized a solar energy training course for countries in tropical and subtropical regions of Africa.

Twenty individuals from eight countries and regions, including Ghana, Rwanda, Nepal, and Kenya were enrolled in the course in Lanzhou, the capital of Northwest China's Gansu province.

The training is sponsored by China's Ministry of Commerce and implemented by Gansu Natural Energy Research Institute, and it will focus on the technology of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems, solar water heaters, solar building, and solar desalination. The 28-day course will include lectures, technical exchanges, economic and trade talks, and on-site practice.

China hopes to help these countries make better use of the energy with its advanced renewable energy technology. The cost of the project is unknown.
