Internal coordination workshops for the Programme in Guatemala

On 10,  11, and 12 February the Technical Assistance members of the  EURO-SOLAR Programme attended  a three day workshop  in Guatemala City Guatemala,  in order to review the activities carried out to date and to plan the Programme’ future activities.

 

Eight heads of Technical Assistance in each of the countries attended, along with the heads of Technical Assistance in Madrid and two representatives from ITER.

 

On the first day, a review was held of the Monitoring Mission’s recommendations, which were implemented in all the countries during November, in order to address the responsibilities deriving from the results. Subsequently, within the framework of the Programme’s internal organisation a balance was drawn up of the activities carried out to date, the Programme’s targets for 2010 were reviewed and prioritised actions to be taken by Technical Assistance were defined. In this respect one of priorities raised for Technical Assistance was the development of measures for encouraging empowerment of institutions in every country. The first measure developed during the work sessions was to create a series of presentations which each country Head will undertake to make in order to demonstrate and explain to each CNC and to the European Union delegations.

 

The second day of the workshop focused on the most operational aspects of the Programme, such as installation, commissioning of the kits, and their subsequent provisional reception. In order to analyze these aspects two representatives from the Institute of Renewable Energies and Development (ITER) explained in detail the Provisional Reception protocol and the responsibilities involved.Other matters debated in this session were internet connection, and the scope of the supply contracts and their implications.

 

Finally, other issues to be developed in 2010 were addressed, such as ancillary skills and training (use of computer tools, internet, etc.) the sustainability of the Programme and preparation for the Programme’s III Regional Workshop which will be held in Ecuador.

 

The final outcome of the Workshop was that each Country Head devised a proposal for the "Detailed 2010 Action Plan” for the debate, revision and approval in the CNC of each country.
