Development: Lead Economy-USAThis collaborative fosters the development of micro-

enterprise activity using renewable energy

technologies in rural and remote regions of APECeconomies. The collaborative uses technical and

business expertise within specific APEC

economies to identify viable micro-enterprise

activities that create income-generationopportunities that raise the standard of living of

rural populations, and is self-replicated in other

communities.

Collaborative III: Renewable-Energy Training

and Certification Network: Australia

The collaborative project involves the identification of

currently available renewable energy training and

certification systems within member economies; an

assessment of the needs of member economies forqualified staff to plan, design, install, operate and maintain

renewable energy systems; an assessment of the gap

between currently available training and current needs and

an assessment of how training resources may be allocatedto better meet the needs of member countries.

Collaborative VII: Web-Based

Renewable Energy InformationDissemination: New Zealand

The objective of this collaborative is to provide news and

information to a wide range of targets within APEC

economies on a range of renewable energy applications.

These data will validate the feasible applications of

renewable energy technologies and provide complete

information on the "how-when-where" for interested

parties. This will be provided via an internet site thatoffers information on selected aspects of RENEWABLE

ENERGY development in APEC economies. We have

developed a first draft of a shell which is posted at:

The deliverable is information

contained on a web portal that is

timely and relevant and value-added and flexible

Collaborative VIII: Financing:

Lead Economy-Mexico

The objective of this collaborative is to provide a

roadmap in the form of a set of guides, tools anddatabases available through a website that will

facilitate financing of renewable energy projects in

the APEC region through existing international

commercial and multi-lateral financingmechanisms.
