PREAMBLE

THE EAST AFRICAN HIGHER EDUCATION NETWORK ON SUSTAINABLE AND ENERGY EFFICIENT CAMPUS DEVELOPMENT

To support the spirit and diffusion of the SUCCEED NetworkprojectinEastAfricabyformallycrea(ngaregionalnetworkforcoopera(on on sustainable and energy efficient campusdevelopment.

Will allow increased academic coopera(on between theseUniversi(es via a collabora(ve e-learning plaKorm on energyefficiencyandrenewableenergy.

Will allow to share Good Prac(ces on Energy EfficiencymeasuresbetweenmemberHEIs.

VISION

MISSION

•  To promote good prac(ces in East Africa and beyond inenergy educa(on, management, efficiency andsustainability.

•  ToprovideanopenaccesslearningplaKorminEastAfricaHEIs and beyond for training and research in renewableenergy resources, energy management, efficiency andsustainability.

The ac(vi(es of the Network will be financially supportedthroughdona(onsandcontribu(onsfrompartnerins(tu(onsaswellasna(onal,regionalandinterna(onalorganiza(ons.
