About the partnership
The TEA-Learning Partnership is a component of the wider Transforming Energy Access programme and seeks to address the need for new and improved curricular development. The initiative aims to channel innovation and prepare graduates to achieve energy access targets in their respective countries and beyond.
To expand networks and respond to the urgent need to improve Southern visibility and recognition in the energy access space, TEA-LP is working with universities, students, and other relevant stakeholders to address pressing energy access challenges.
Aiming to equip Masters’ students with vital skills through capacity building, the TEA Learning Partnership will provide local graduates with high-level knowledge, skills, and competencies to make valuable contributions to the delivery of clean energy access in their respective countries.
Each course is created to cultivate and enable students to adopt a systems thinking approach and enhance their critical thinking, data analysis and entrepreneurial skills to stand them in good stead for successful careers within the energy access sector.
TEA-LP provides both technical and financial support enabling each course to be localised and launched in 20 successful universities across Africa and the Indo-Pacific region with guidance and inputs from TEA partners and local sector experts.
