SACREEE 2026 Capacity-Building
The 2026 SACREEE Capacity-Building Programme is dedicated to advancing the careers of women energy entrepreneurs from the SADC region. The initiative is led by the Global Women’s Network for the Energy Transition (GWNET) in collaboration with the SADC Centre for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (SACREEE), with financial support from the Austrian Development Agency (ADA), the operational unit of the International Partnership Austria.
The programme is only open to individuals who identify as women and have SADC nationality. Applicants should also be able to commit to attending virtually/online roughly 8 hours per month towards the programme. Women entrepreneurs in the areas of solar thermal, energy efficiency, and productive use of energy will be given preferential consideration.
The 6-months capacity-building programme seeks to empower women entrepreneurs or owners of an energy-related business to advance their businesses through expert and industry role models. The training is limited only to business soft-skill training and does not include technical technologies training. The capacity-building programme DOES NOT provide capital funding but facilitates enterprise financing through matchmaking and linking entrepreneurs with potential funders.
Applications are now open for the 2026 SACREEE Capacity-Building Programme.
Application Deadline: 03 April 2026
