5. Energy at GIZ Capacity Development and Skills for Energy Conclusion

6. “Capacity development. Strengthening partner – developing potentials” is our principle for a holistic competency progress. GIZ assumes this to be the key for sustainable development.” Capacity Development Butterfly

7. Cooperation between Brazil and Germany - Program for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency “Energy systems of the Future” Objective: Increased participation of renewable energies and energy efficiency in the energy matrix CoordinatingPartner: MME (BrazilianMinistryof Mining andEnergy) Project Components Technical andVocational Ed. and Training Dissemination Regulation Energyplanning EPE ANEEL SENAI, MEC Several

8. TVET Component - Objective and Success Factors The basis for technical and vocational education and training in the area of Renewable Energy (RE) and Energy Efficiency (EE) is established in line with the demands of the sector. • Development of quality-assured education and training courses in line with the demand of the Brazilian RE and EE sector • Appropriate balance of practice and theory (approx. 50:50) – trainings involving companies • Inclusion of international and German experiences

9. Success Factors 1 Closely linked to industry needs ABINEE (June 2015): Workshop of the PV group to discuss qualified workforce demand in the sector 2 National level coordination/TVET standards MEC – Ministry of Education: Committee to promote TVET in Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency with Federal Institutes for Education, Science and Technology SENAI DN: Development of national occupational standards for “Energy Managers for the Industry and Building sector” together with private sector 3 Training of Teachers and Instructors Tailor-made training units applying a theoretical and practical approach to prepare instructors to offer the new training coursesSENAI / GIZ – Train the Trainer – November 2015 PV installations 4: Public Private Partnerships Cooperation of Brazilian and / or German companies with training institutions to implement training centers and to realize training coursesBenefit to the company: Qualified staff; contact to target groups, amongst others 11

10. German and Brazilian Government agreed in 2011 to cooperate for biogas to energy promotion • 5 years Initiative (2013 – 2017) • Brazilian Ministry of Cities is Coordinating Counterpart for DKTI Biogas

11. Starting Point of GIZ/KfW project: Cities ministry did´t work on biogas Capacity development and buildingon all levels (private, public, academic) CD on specific topics like fertiliserregulation, tender, biomethane, etc. Example: Training forEnvironmental Permit Authorities Publications: http://www.cidades.gov.br/saneamento-cidades/probiogas/publicacoes Challenges in the area of capacity development in biogas in Brasil: - Still missing know-how on biogas in financial institutions- Very few national highly compentent biogas project developers

17. Conclusion Renewablesare a jobcreator Capacity Development is a must in all projects – becauseofitsimportanceandcomplexity a strategyandtoolsareneeded Skills forenergy: Longtermmultistakeholderapproachratherthanisolatedshortterm initiatives Existing international standards need to be adapted nationally Standardized Technical and Vocational Education training is needed, and skills development for different educational levels 4 exit factors (closely linked to industry needs, national level coordination/standards, training of teachers and instructors, Public Private Partnerships)
