In the area of regional-national policy development and implementation the center closely cooperates with the SPC Energy Programme and provides technical services as delegated. Whereas the SPC Energy Programme will continue to take leadership in providing regional policy coordination and coherence, the center will focus on practical policy aspects with high relevance for the private sector and industry. In contrast to other ongoing initiatives it will address RE&EE holistically and in a balanced way. It will not be active in areas that are already covered by other CROP agencies.
