Description: Join us for an enlightening webinar hosted by ARE as we explore how energy access, powered by Decentralised Renewable Energy (DRE) solutions, unlocks new possibilities for productive use and inclusive socio-economic development.
In this session, experts and thought leaders from the ARE membership will examine the pivotal role of DRE in enabling productive activities across key sectors. From strengthening agriculture and food systems to supporting micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs), improving livelihoods, and enhancing access to essential services, the discussion will highlight how reliable and sustainable energy access translates into real economic and social impact at the local level.
The webinar will also reflect on how productive use of energy can drive job creation, foster resilience within communities, and promote more inclusive development pathways, particularly when energy solutions are designed with local needs and engagement at their core.
Discover the intersection of energy access, productivity, and sustainable development as we navigate real-world experiences and lessons from the field. Don’t miss this opportunity to gain valuable insights, exchange directly with presenters during an interactive Q&A session and be part of the conversation shaping the future of productive energy use worldwide.
