Project description
Coordinated climate solutions for Europe and Africa
In the realm of climate-compatible development planning, scientific tools wielded across the EU and African Union (AU) often miss the mark. Uncoordinated and biased model design by various actors has resulted in a failure to reflect country-specific conditions, leading to a lack of ownership and credibility in energy planning. With this in mind, the EU-funded RE-INTEGRATE project is on a mission to establish an inclusive environment for knowledge-sharing and context-specific modelling toolkits. The project aims to revolutionise the strategic energy planning process across the EU and AU, paving the way for more credible and effective outcomes. Addressing the AU’s need for independent modelling approaches, the project unfolds in 8 AU contexts, harnessing local expertise.
Objective
Scientific tools are widely applied across the EU and the AU to support strategic planning for climate-compatible development. They are used by national and local authorities, research institutes and civil society organisations, very often with the support of development partners, academia and consulting firms. They are an important part of the energy planning ecosystem. However, the scientific insights derived from these tools have not always supported the strategic energy planning process successfully. Sometimes uncoordinated and biased approaches to model design and application by the involved actors on the EU and AU side have led to poor reflection of country-specific social, economic, and environmental conditions (Gardumi et al., 2022). The result is often a lack ownership and credibility and thus limited uptake in planning and policymaking processes. In order to address this gap, the overall aim of RE-INTEGRATE is to establish within existing energy planning ecosystems across the AU and EU an enabling and non-exclusive environment for the sharing of knowledge, fit-to-context modelling toolkits and modelling expertise on climate-compatible development. RE-INTEGRATE addresses the need – expressed in the Work Programme - for fostering modelling approaches and expertise in the AU, which are not heavily reliant on the developed countries, by structurally enabling multi-lateral sharing of knowledge and research infrastructure. While doing so, it develops and tests fit-for-purpose 3E models in 8 AU contexts, building on local expertise and analysing climate-compatible development pathways.

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
