Senior ECPA Fellows Program

Participating Countries: All countries in the Western Hemisphere

Goals:

Facilitate the transfer of knowledge between the United States, Latin America and the Caribbean in innovative solutions and technologies related to the areas of clean energy, sustainable urban development, climate change adaptation, and reducing emissions from deforestation.
Build a network of technical experts working on energy and climate change in the United States, Latin America, and the Caribbean that are better able to connect to and cooperate with each other.
Bring together diverse actors from governments, civil society and the private sector to identify energy and climate change issues in the region and work together toward solutions.

Overview: This initiative will send technical experts from the academic, non-profit or private sectors to serve as consultants and speakers to countries in Latin America and the Caribbean, sharing best practices and expertise in clean energy, sustainable urban development, climate change adaptation and reducing emissions from deforestation. Partners will facilitate fellowship trips throughout the Hemisphere, where Fellows will visit one, two or three countries for an average of five days per trip. Through constant monitoring and evaluation, Partners will track and analyze participant satisfaction with the program, increases in knowledge and understanding of issues related to energy and climate change, demonstrated uses of new skills and knowledge as a result of the program, and changes in institutions and communities as a result of the program.
