1.Background

African countries reached to a consensus of establishment and operation of the Africa Geothermal Center of Excellence in the context of (a) Regional Relevance: Align the Center with the regional needs and requirements; (b) Regional Ownership: The Center will be owned and led by all Africans and have all African Players on board; (c) Build on Existing Initiatives: Utilize the existing facilities and initiatives. The Government of Kenya hosts the Center due to its advanced existing institutional and infrastructural capacities including where the geothermal development value chain can be easily showcased and exhibited. The Africa Geothermal Center of Excellence aims to create a critical mass of experts in geothermal science and technology to address the challenges of inadequate local skilled manpower in the geothermal sector and enhance access to clean energy and green jobs in the region. This is being implemented in the context of providing innovative environmental solutions to achieve the various Global Sustainable Development Goals and Continental AU development Agenda of 2063: SDG 7, SDG 5, SDG 17 etc. The Africa Geothermal center of Excellence Steering Committee members held a series of meetings since August 2015 where it made a decision to set up an Interim Project coordination unit of AGCE (hosted by UN Environment Africa office) in order to meet the urgent training need and requirements of African countries while the full-fledged AGCE is established. UN Environment was tasked to provide technical support and develop an interim strategy, with stakeholders including holding a series of geothermal trainings using the existing Geothermal Development Company (GDC) and Kenyan Electricity Generating Company (KenGen) training facilities under the auspices of IPCU AGCE. The second AGCE stakeholders workshop held in Djibouti, September 2017 Launched the IPCU-AGCE and endorsed the various geothermal training modules that will be conducted under the auspices of IPCU-AGCE. In a similar vein, IPCU-AGCE had conducted a training needs assessment from participating countries upon which a training plan was developed for the interim phase of the AGCE. This assessment provided information on (i) 5-year strategic plan for geothermal exploration and development (power generation and direct use application); and (ii) the needs for training in each geoscientific, drilling and engineering fields in the coming 5 years.

1. Background

. The East African Rift System is endowed with a geothermal energy resource potential of about 20 GW that can be used for power generation and direct use application. Out of which, Kenya is generating about 676 MWe of electricity and 12 MWt for direct use application from geothermal energy resources. Ethiopia is following Kenya, with a geothermal pilot power plant with a total installed capacity of 7.5 MWe. Kenya has been generating electricity since 1981 and Ethiopia started in 1998. In recent years, significant interest has been developed and progress has been made in the Africa Region in terms of exploration and development of geothermal resource towards generation of electricity and direct use application. In line with this, exploration for geothermal resources has also been conducted in other African countries such as Burundi, Comoros Islands, Djibouti, Democratic Republic of Congo, Eritrea, Malawi, Mozambique, Rwanda, Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia. These countries are at various stages of geothermal exploration ranging from inventory of hot springs (e.g Burundi) to detailed geoscientific investigations; including drilling of exploratory wells (e.g. Djibouti, Tanzania and Rwanda). Many African countries have also made some direct uses of their geothermal resources. These countries include Algeria, Egypt, Ethiopia, Kenya, Morocco, Tunisia, and Zambia. The presently generated 600+ MW of total installed geothermal capacity in the region is expected to increase by about 1550+ MW by 2025. This significant increase in geothermal power generation requires a substantial increase in African geothermal expertise in order to meet a Sustainable geothermal development that in turn contributes to Global Sustainable Development Goals 2030 and Continental development agenda of AU Agenda 2063. It is against this backdrop that African countries have agreed to set up the ‘Africa Geothermal center of Excellence’ that could serve as a vehicle to sustainably strengthen and enhance the capacities and skills of Africans youth and women in geothermal science, engineering and technology. This agreement was made during the First African Geothermal Center of Excellence (AGCE) Stakeholders Workshop held in Nairobi, Kenya in August 2015. Where the steering Committee of AGCE was established and led by the African Union Commission.

The AGCE steering committee members held a series of meetings since August 2015 where it made a decision to set up an Interim Project coordination unit of AGCE (hosted by UN Environment Africa office) in order to meet the urgent training needs and requirements of African countries until the full-fledged AGCE is established and legalized. UN Environment was tasked to provide technical support and develop an interim strategy, with stakeholders including GDC and KenGen, including holding a series of geothermal trainings using the existing KenGen and GDC facilities under the auspices of IPCU AGCE. KenGen and GDC was tasked to develop a non-commercial and non-profit cost recovery rate for using their training facilities (field equipment, laboratory facilities consumables, lecturers) in a sustainable manner.

27

The second AGCE stakeholders workshop held in Djibouti, September 2017 launched the IPCU-AGCE and endorsed the various levels of geothermal training modules that will be conducted under the auspices of IPCU-AGCE. The IPCU-AGCE had conducted a training needs assessment from participating countries upon which a training plan was developed for the interim phase of the AGCE. This assessment provides information on (i) 5-year strategic plan for geothermal exploration and development (power generation and direct use application); and (ii) the needs for training in each geo-scientific, drilling and engineering fields in the coming 5 years. In line with this, the Africa Energy Commission (AFREC) and IPCU-AGCE jointly organizing the first geothermal training on « Level -1: Introduction to Geothermal Science and Technology » under the auspices of IPCU AGCE in Kenya.

2. Objectives and training module

The training aims to strengthen and enhance the capacities and skills of Africans as per the needs and

requirements from eleven Eastern Africa countries. It is expected that the trainees will have adequate
