42 11 people trained mainly for Ministry of Energy and Minerals Development 2 people are not active

43

44 In 2003 AfDB funded geophysical work at Katwe and Buranga ICEDA funding geophysical work at Kibiro, Katwe and Buranga integration of all data from the three prospects Temperature gradient drilling was done in Katwe and Kibiro Bahati and his colleagues organising ARGeo Conference in Nov.2008.

47

48 26 people trained 11 are no longer active Long serving Dr Meseret Teklemariam Head of Hydrogeology, Engineering, Geology and Geothermal in GSE Dr Berhanu Gizaw -Senior Geochemist 4 work for EEPCo

49

50 Detailed Suface surveys at Abaya and Dofan-Fantale Aluto Langano; 3MW unit was refurbished and still working. The other unit 4.5M was refurbished but still not working completely Ministry of Energy and Minerals, EEPCo and GSE now working as a team Aluto and Tendaho are now in Master plan

51 Tendaho MT with BGR. Looking for funds to put a pilot plant. Dr Meseret Teklemariam organised a successful ARGeo workshop in 2006 Meseret involved in short course training in Kenya

52 6 have been trained 1 retired Mohammed Berham Abdulkair trained in 1984 as Geophysicist in Ethiopia In USA for PhD in Hydrocarbon

53 Ermias Yohannes is Geochemist and head of geothermal section Kiflom and Andemariam are actively involved in geothermal Andemariam was involved in MT surveys of Djibouti Funds to carry out MT and geochemical work applied from WB and ARGeo.

54

55 Three people trained from CERD A. Khaireh was borehole geologist but now retired Daher Elmi Hossein is reservoir engineer recently MSc in May 2008 Mustapha Youssouf borehole geologist in 2008 Expect Daher and Mustapha Youssouf to be involved in the ongoing exploration work in Assal

56 Four people trained Magdy Mahgoub geologist now retired Magda Idris- geochemist Sadek El Sharkaway Manager Aref Lashin Ass Professor Benha University Evaluating resources in western desert of Egypt Problem with low temperature and competing resources for energy

57 6 trained All active Mr Mongi Elguedri rural equipment engineer Mondher Said work for Ministry of Agriculture A. Gandouzi is head of soil division at CRDA, Kebili Mouldi Ben Mohammed is Deputy Director of Agricultural Studies at CRDA Manouba Aissa Agoun is head of water Resources at CRDA at Kebili Dr Lassad Sbita teaches use of computers in control systems of green house heating

58

59 3 trained Talal Karouaz went to NZ for Diploma. Mrs Malika Rachedi teaches at University Mr Abouriche passed away There is no communication with Algeria Main uses are spas and some space heating, pools and showers

60 4 trained from Tanzania George Kifua trained as Geophysicist but now retired Jacob Mayalla is geothermal coordinator Tarameli Mnjokava is geochemist Gabriel Mbogoni is in 2008 class Involved in BGR exploration in Songwe- Mbeya

61 Mugahaze was trained as geologist in 1984 from Burundi but not active Theonieste Uhorakeye is geologist from Rwanda in 2008 class

64 There is boom for more and cheaper source of energy There is boom for clean source of energy Africa committed to develop >1000MW by the year Kenya alone plans to develop 1260MW by 2018 Use of geothermal will therefore grow More staff will therefore be required Older people will need to be replaced Therefore more training will be required

65 Continuation of the current course for countries that are starting exploration and development. Training for replacement staff Introduction of M.Sc. is good Specialisation in: Directional drilling, Power plant design, economics, and contract, documentation and supervision, Digital control systems. GIS for data

66 Turn Short course in Kenya to a full geothermal training Centre

67 UNU-GTP has done a fantastic job 107 Africans have been trained in Iceland for six months and 10 MSc 78 are still actively involved in geothermal development at various capacities Active fellows have been involved in exploration, power station development, operations, greenhouse heating, training and publications Funding has been a major constraint

68 Under Climate Change, Geothermal development has to increase now UNU training is still required as different countries are at different levels of development Old trainees are retiring and replacement need training Specialisation is required in certain areas Development of a permanent Training centre in Kenya may need further consideration
