Onsite Phase in Uganda and Tanzania – Uganda Renewable Energy Programme

A couple of weeks ago the Uganda Renewable Energy Programme had a phase in Jinja, Uganda and Arusha, Tanzania with LIFE Staff, mentors and other experts onsite. This gave the participants a couple of weeks to have training and study visits in both Uganda and Tanzania and of course last but not least – the important networking!
