The overall objective of the project is to support Higher Education Institutions in Tanzania, Mozambique and Ethiopia to provide education that promotes sustainable socio-economic development. The application of renewable energy and the adoption of energy-efficient lighting products and systems have great potential to reduce increasing energy demands and greenhouse gas emissions. Tanzania, Mozambique, and Ethiopia have a large potential in renewable energy and energy saving by applying energy efficient techniques. The project will support the development of much-needed technical expertise and experience in the field of energy efficient lighting.

In addition to the development of teaching, research and training capacity of the partner institutions, the project supports interaction between higher education and society through awareness-raising activities, need assessment activities, and dissemination events. By involving non-academic partners such as the  energy fund, the electricity and energy authorities, the standards agency, etc in the project activities as associate partners, the project intends to strengthen the cooperation between universities and the public sector. The project strengthens the relevance of education in the labour market by providing education and training reflecting the needs of the local labour market. The project activities are designed to improve the quality of pedagogical capacities, research and teaching capacities, as well as human resource capacities of partner institutions in Tanzania, Mozambique, and Ethiopia.
