Dear Partners and Observers,

 

Given the current trajectory of the global pandemic, GBEP, along with the co-organisers (AU/AFREC, ECA and FAO), have made the difficult decision to confirm the dates of the Bioenergy Week 2021 and hold it virtually. The event will take place from 16 to 18 March 2021 ONLINE via Zoom.

 

We are very happy to share with you the draft agenda for the event, which has been adapted to the online format. Although we will miss the bilateral opportunities afforded by an in-person event, the online format provides the opportunity for more innovative functions, such as live polls, word walls and break-out sessions, which we hope will allow for a stimulating and interactive event. Please note that there will be simultaneous translation English-French-English.

As for previous similar events in Africa, the 2021 Bioenergy Week will also feature an ‘Outcome Document’ to be discussed during break-out sessions and approved in Plenary; this document will not only present the outcomes of the Bioenergy Week but also the future vision of bioenergy in Africa, as discussed and agreed by the participants.

 

More information on registration facilities and on how to connect to the event will be available in due time, but in the meantime please mark the event dates in your calendars.

 

Kind regards,

 

GBEP Secretariat
