TRANSFER OF GEOTHERMAL TECHNOLOGY AND CAPACITY BUILDING IN ASIA
The main goal of the UNU-GTP is capacity building in the sustainable use of geothermal energy resources. Nine specialized lines of training are offered (www.unugtp.is). The aim is to assist developing and transitional countries with significant geothermal potential to build up groups of specialists that cover most aspects of geothermal exploration and development. Since the foundation of UNU-GTP in 1979, 380 scientists and engineers from 41 countries have completed the annual six month courses. Of these, 44％ (165) have come from 10 countries in Asia, 26％ from Africa, 16％ from Central and Eastern Europe, and 14％ from Latin America. All participants are selected by private interviews during site visits to the countries concerned. They are trained in the specialized fields that are considered most relevant to promote geothermal development in the respective country. The Government of Iceland has secured core funding for the UNU-GTP to expand its capacity building activities by annual workshops/short courses in geothermal development in selected countries in Africa (since 2005), Central America (since 2006), and in Asia (starting in May 2008). This is a contribution of the Government of Iceland towards the Millennium Development Goals of the United Nations. A part of the objective is to increase the cooperation between specialists in the respective countries/regions. The courses may in the future develop into sustainable regional geothermal training centres.
