Entrepreneurship in the territories: is it the right time?
BACKGROUND
Promoting energy democratization is at the heart of Oxfam’s Just Energy Transition work. The overall goal of Oxfam Pilipinas’ JET Programme is to support partners and stakeholders’ campaign for stronger government commitment to policy and regulatory changes for accessible and affordable renewable energy (RE) systems and schemes in the Philippines.

Picking up where Year 2 ended, this year’s campaign aims to encourage the local governments of Eastern Samar, Borongan, and Dolores, to integrate and allocate resources for their renewable energy plan/roadmap by enacting local renewable energy codes and investment plans approved by their local development councils.
