Empowering Managers
Building the capacity of managers in the sustainable energy sector
A tailored programme for managers in the off-grid energy space that is funded with UK aid from the British people via the Transforming Energy Access programme.
Who have we worked with?
This programme transformed how I work and my relationship with the team. I also have more time to think strategically as the team is taking ownership of tasks and projects and we're able to co-create solutions to the challenges that we face. This has resulted in process improvements, leading to cost saving.
