Energy and clean energy—just energy is a major focus of USAID’s mission. By partnering through the interagency agreement with NREL, USAID’s capacity is reinforced one hundredfold. The expertise here at NREL is not held within the halls of USAID. USAID has many experts on energy but nowhere near the applied technical expertise.

So, you’re combining strengths, talents, forces, resources and you’re capitalizing on USAID’s in-country comparative advantage, where we work with local entities, coupled with NREL’s expertise—now you have a gameplan for a successful implementation—long-term impacts that can address the climate crisis at hand.
