International Consultant on International Networking Advisory Services

UNDP Turkey works for Democratic Governance and Growth without Poverty. For more than 50 years the UNDP has worked in close partnership with the Turkish Government and numerous national and international institutions, including NGOs, academics and the business community. UNDP Turkey aims to find practical solutions to Turkey's development challenges and manages projects together with the Turkish Government and other partners to address them.
UNDP and GAP Regional Development Administration (GAP RDA) have been cooperating on sustainable human development since mid 90s. One of the landmarks of the longstanding partnership of GAP RDA and UNDP is the Competitiveness Agenda, which was produced within the scope of an EU-funded project in 2007. The vision of the Competitiveness Agenda is to make the Southeast Anatolia Region, which is known as the cradle of civilizations, the cradle of sustainable civilizations.
Upon adoption of the Competitiveness Agenda by the Government of Turkey, this ambitious vision was translated into actionable strategies, which included, inter alia, better utilization of the Region’s renewable energy and energy efficiency potential. Consecutively UNDP and GAP RDA launched several projects, all which were designed to progress towards the aforementioned ambitious vision. One of such projects is the Utilization of Renewable Energy (RE) Resources and Increasing Energy Efficiency (EE) in the Southeast Anatolia Region (REEE Project). Within first phase of the two-phased REEE Project, several diagnostic studies were conducted; feasibility studies were undertaken to identify the most rewarding opportunities, and ultimately a Regional Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Strategy Paper was produced. The second phase of the REEE Project is mainly geared towards implementation of this strategy, and the action plan that complements the said strategy.
An important element of this strategy is “internationalization” of the universities in the Region, by integrating them into the international research and business networks. The focus here is on the Harran University, which is presently establishing an applied research center on REEE (GAP-YENEV). With the facilitation of UNDP and GAP RDA, Harran University has already established a fruitful partnership with Danish Technological Institute (DTI). DTI is helping Harran University develop a business model for GAP-YENEV.
Another important element of the strategy is using RE (mostly solar) in agricultural irrigation. Turkey is a net energy importer, and imports of energy accounts for roughly 60-70% of Turkey’s current account deficit. Agriculture is intensively practiced in the Region and accounts for a significant share of the Region’s energy bill. UNDP and GAP RDA are presently piloting solar-powered irrigation systems in 5 different locations in the Region. These are micro-scale systems and will need to be scaled up for wider and more efficient deployment initially within the Region and later across the whole country.
Last but not the least, the Regional Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Strategy Paper recommends improvement of Region’s entrepreneurial and innovative capacity. A recently emerged opportunity in this field is energy efficiency applications for the new buildings to be constructed within the scope of urban regeneration projects in the Region.
All these elements, summarized above, are important for successful implementation of the Regional REEE Strategy, and require receipt of professional services for facilitation of international partnerships.
