My organisation

The East African Centre of Excellence for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (EACREEE) was established at the 7th East African Community Sectoral Council on Energy meeting. The Centre was established to promote renewable energy and energy efficiency in the EAC region. EACREEE has been mandated by the EAC Council of Ministers responsible for energy to promote renewable energy and energy efficiency in the eight partner states, including the Republic of Burundi, the Republic of Rwanda, the Republic of South Sudan, Democratic Republic of the Congo, United Republic of Tanzania, Republic of Kenya, Federal Republic of Somalia and the Republic of Uganda.
