Regional workshop "Building a Renewable Energy Data Framework"

The workshop was held as part of the first phase of the REDAF project, with the aim to consult with selected pilot countries to assess the status of their data collection availability and needs, and in parallel work towards the design and validation of a draft standard renewable energy data reporting template, that will take into account regional approaches and specificities.
