One of the main objectives of the USAID-funded Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Program (REEEP) is to provide vocational training and create awareness of the benefits of renewable energy and energy efficiency – for both men and women. To help accomplish this, REEEP is collaborating with the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) by training a selected group of corps members on renewable energy, with a special focus on solar energy and on women. The goal is to develop a cadre of women solar entrepreneurs, engineers, and installers and technicians in support of Nigeria’s broader energy access and economic development objectives.
