About the LEAP-RE Stakeholder Forum
The LEAP-RE Stakeholder Forum is an event organised every second year to enrich the LEAP-RE Community. It aims to create and expand an international multi-stakeholder community dealing with renewable energy, science-based policymaking, funding and research, innovation, monitoring, evaluation and learning, in Africa and Europe. Its objectives are also to identify, design, and implement the services and functions of LEAP-RE and to foster collaboration between similar initiatives.
