In order to increase the use of renewable energies and energy efficiency measures in Vietnam, people from the civil society context in Vietnam (e.g. women’s associations, youth organizations, agricultural associations, local trade unions, environmental organizations, schools and educational institutions, environmental journalism) are supported to expand their knowledge and skills in the fields of renewable energies and energy efficiency. To this end, UfU, in cooperation with the Green Innovation and Development Center (GreenID) in Hanoi, is conducting five multi-day training workshops in various regions of Vietnam. In these basic training workshops, the participants carry out practical training units on renewable energies and energy efficiency measures, receive information on decentralized rural energy supply using renewable energies and learn about practical examples of implementation. In addition, they will learn which technologies have proven successful for decentralized energy supply, how possible renewable energy potentials in the region can be examined and which strategies and other partner organizations can be used to implement such projects in rural regions and small towns in Vietnam. A training manual will be produced to accompany these seminars. In a next step, twenty particularly active people will be identified from the context of the workshops to be trained as advisors for the implementation of renewable energies for rural communities as part of “train the trainer” courses. UfU is also supporting the non-governmental organization GreenID in the implementation of fifty/fifty energy-saving projects at schools in Vietnam.
