CROSS CUTTING ISSUES


There are strong synergies between the main themes which can be identified in the following cross-cutting themes:


• Research into Use - Ensuring research translates into policies that in turn translate into improved access to affordable, reliable and sustainable energy and improved livelihoods.
• South-South-North - Developing the mechanisms required to maximise the depth and impact of knowledge exchange and transfer between southern and northern partners.
• Capacity Strengthening - For partners within the consortium, partner governments and the broader stakeholder community.
Equity - Ensuring that gender, age, race, and other factors are taken into account in policy recommendations.
