Episode Summary

In this episode we set the context for energy in Kenya and why the AWE Initiative had to come in play.

The AWE Initiative is here to offer you a megaphone to tell and show the market what you’re great at. Energy auditors, facility managers and administrative bodies in the energy and water sectors will benefit most from this initiative.

The major deliberations from this were:

* Kenya and the larger East Africa region are quickly transforming their energy sectors* There is an immense shortage of energy professionals, especially energy auditors to meet the market demand* Awareness on energy is still low and that’s where the opportunity for pros like you to step in presents itself* Whoever creates valuable content will have the market trust. We want you to come top in your specific niche, be it in energy or water, or other related utilities

Show Notes

For the show’s first episode, we wanted you to understand why the AWE Initiative had to come about. As the Kenyan economy in particular, expands, so is there a need for professionals in the energy and water sectors.

In the episode, the guiding topics were:

* What the energy and larger economic landscape of Kenya looks like* How naturally there has been an increasing demand for professionals in energy and water. * How AWE Initiative intends to address challenges of awareness and competency by working with people across broad spectra* What the AWE Initiative is and what benefits it comes to offer professionals, facility managers, the regulator (Energy & Petroleum Regulatory Authority)
