  • The Economic Policy Dialogue aims to enable national stakeholders to jointly identify economic and development priorities and possible solutions to the challenges posed to development. Not more than 20 selected participants will have an opportunity to present potential solutions on the theme adopted for that month. Their shared ideas will culminate in recommendations to feed into possible national socio-economic reforms to ensure better access to development in Tunisia, moves toward creating better employability for young people, and wider economic and financial inclusion. Backers of the initiative will forward suggestions to the Government of Tunisia on what avenues could be taken for further reflection, as well as recommending practical and pragmatic solutions.

  • A total of six EPD sessions will be organized until June 2023 in a format that allows for emerging new ideas and forms of consensus.

    Thursday, 24 November 2022: Accelerating private sector investment in large-scale Renewable Energy

  • Thursday, 24 November 2022 – Agenda

    “Accelerating private sector investment in large-scale renewable energy.”

    This dialogue session aims to discuss the barriers to private investment in large-scale renewable energy projects, identify solutions to overcome the identified barriers, as well as propose innovative mechanisms for a win-win partnership to regain investor confidence and catalyze the development of these projects. Accelerating the implementation of these projects is the only way to reduce the energy deficit and contribute to achieving energy transition objectives: energy security, economic competitiveness, social equity, and climate action.

    The debate will focus on the following questions:

    • What are the specific barriers to private large-scale renewable energy projects (governance, financial, technical, regulatory)?
    • What are the solutions to accelerate the implementation of projects (planned and future)?
    • What are the mechanisms to incentivize the implementation and realization of projects?
