Alumni 4E El Salvador
ALUMNI 4E EL SALVADOR An alumni group for Renewable Energy The network „Alumni 4E El Salvador“ was founded in 2011 as an initiative of the programme „Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency in Central America” of GIZ (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit), www.energias4e.com. This voluntary group of alumni supports the 4E-programme in El Salvador. Its members are nine energy experts with long-term experience in various institutions of the energy sector.
For a sustainable development in El Salvador The “4E El Salvador” alumni meet once a week. It is their common goal to promote cooperation and continuing education as well as an exchange of ideas among its members. We exchange our experiences in discussions held during our weekly meetings and we use the Web 2.0 to communicate themes or topics that might be interesting to the group members. Furthermore, the „4E El Salvador“-network supports the country’s sustainable development by raising awareness for the significance of renewable energy and energy efficiency in the Central American region. Since this region has great potential in the production of clean energy, this can help mitigate the effects of global warming.
GIZ IMPACT LETTER Promote your network or your association. What is a GIZ Impact Letter for? Activities of alumni and their networks and associations are of special interest for fellow alumni worldwide. The exchange of knowledge in specific working fields and the experience made in applying professional skills therefore is a crucial means for development. Alumni networks and associations set up their own service portfolio for members as well as external partners, develop marketing strategies and cooperate closely with partners at place.
In order to enhance the further exchange among Alumni and with GIZ, we offer the opportunity to present services provided and activities organised by the members of respective Alumni networks and associations on a regular basis in form of an GIZ Impact Letter. We invite all members of alumni networks and associations to take part in this exchange. Further information: 8 globalconnect.giz.de/en/networks.html
