Socio economic research

– The CREAD is the main research center on soci-economic issues;

– Have been involved previously with Wuppertal Institute in a study about Renewables;

– Can be part of DISEM, a potential stakeholder from Algeria.

Centre de Recherche en Economie Appliquée pour le Développement

Renewables – a vision• Algeria is determined to mobilize its solar potential;• Local manufacturing, job creation, new skills are a pre-

requisite;• R&D and training are key + investing in youth;• Moving ahead while addressing issues related to optimal

design, efficiency and cost reductions.

All these gaps can only be addressed through well trained people engaged towards the creation of a new brand of RE enabled activists who dare to face the status quo and challenge inherited solutions…

Topics for DISEM• Adapting the right model for RE governance in the MENA

region via a clear cut responsibility chart (ownership and accountability).

• Right approach towards local industry: – state-owned vs private. – Large companies vs SMEs ( Define territories, work in respect and

harmony)• Re-hauling the procurement rules for faster execution.• Industrial partnerships : finding a lasting formula
