Facilitators

Each ERC course is facilitated by a minimum of two experts, one local and one external (national, regional or international). Through the kind support of various institutions, such as, the European Union (EU), Africa-EU Renewable Energy Cooperation Programme (RECP), The World Academy of Sciences (TWAS) and many others, ERC has been able to tap the regional and international expertise. Below is the list of some of the internal and external experts:
