Workshop I on IRENA`s work programme

30 June to 1 July, 2008, at the Paul Löbe Parliament Building

Workshop I discussed the initial work programme and Articles II to V of the statutes, relating to the organisation's objective, definitions and activities. Nine main activities were identified as a guideline for initial action, the details of which will continue to be revised in a dynamic process using comments and contributions from country representatives. Key initial activities include the agency’s own core competency development and providing policy advice. Consensus was reached that IRENA will not be a funding agency but rather facilitate information on how members can receive financial support. The private sector received special attention as the emphasis was on an integrative policy and practice approach.
