Summary
The Energy Access Talent Initiative (EATI) aims to support the talent needs of energy access enterprises across Africa, whilst empowering local talent to pursue careers in the sector. EATI (formerly the Off-Grid Talent Initiative) develops sustainable upskilling and sourcing models to address energy access labour shortages, increase the female participation rate in the energy access supply chain, and develop the next generation of female managers, who provide the operational capacity necessary to drive energy access SME growth. EATI is delivered by Shortlist and the African Management Institute, as part of the Transforming Energy Access (TEA) platform.

Summary
The Chevening Transforming Energy Access (TEA) Scholarship aims to support 30 scholars from Sub-Saharan Africa and the Indo-Pacific to pursue energy access-related research in a one-year Masters course at a UK university, with the first scholarships awarded in September 2023. The scholarships include a monthly stipend, travel costs, visa fees, and university fees. Throughout the year there will also be networking opportunities for TEA Scholars. The overarching objective is to build a network of emerging leaders within the energy access sector and embed the scholars within the Transforming Energy Access (TEA) platform.

Summary
Climate Compatible Growth (CCG), with its partners, are co-creating and providing free ‘starter kits’ for most developing countries to help kickstart the process of developing a set of data for an initial investment model for national decarbonisation strategies. With an initial dataset and model in place, analysis can be quickly updated, adapted, adopted and applied. Analysis can be used to set clear quantified policy targets and underpin loan applications; incorporated into fast policy analysis, and slower burn academic processes. Data sets are also useful for development partners, consultancies, national investment analysts and academics. They can also be used to facilitate engagements between countries and support organisations. CCG’s Starter Data Kits currently cover all countries in mainland Africa, as well as countries across Asia, Oceania, and South America.

Summary
The Climate Compatible Growth (CCG) research programme develops national partnerships so that the needs of partner countries can be embedded into CCG research. CCG currently has six national partnership countries: Ghana, India, Kenya, Lao PDR, Viet Nam and Zambia. By promoting shared interests and having an appropriate in-country presence, effective collaborations based on country requirements are established to deliver impacts that fit the country’s needs. CCG expertise and processes are embedded within each partner country to create a community of practice (the Partner Country CCG Network), where researchers, influencers and decision-makers work together to co-create and implement research which harnesses CCG-derived evidence, tools and frameworks. This leads towards each Country CCG Network being considered a trusted broker of interdisciplinary, policy-facing research which policy makers can draw upon when developing financeable plans for climate compatible infrastructure projects.
