Energy Champions bring their field experience to the SME Power Project. They investigate opportunities to begin Action Plan implementation and to make use of SME POWER to improve other aspects of regional policy. In parallel, they consider the knowledge on capacity building shared and consider how this could be promoted in their specific territories.
