Sustainable Energy Technologies Center for Africa

The Sustainable Energy Technologies Center for Africa (SETCA) in Yaoundé Cameroon is where sustainability, energy and technology meet to enhance human livelihood. SETCA aims to help correct imbalances in energy supply and demand that often result in power outage, and to provide access to areas of Africa that have been suppressed by lack of modern energy services. This goal will be achieved through

training and capacity-building, advocacy and deployment of modern energy systems. SETCA Director General Dr Lacour Mody Ayompe is a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Department of Earth Systems Science, University of California Irvine, USA. He is a renewable energy and energy efficiency expert with over 15 years of sustainability research in the water-food-energy nexus including experience in industry and teaching, energy auditing, distributed energy resources, renewable energy technologies, energy efficiency systems and energy policy. His current research interest is on socio-economic impacts of agricultural commodity trade and energy access using renewable energy systems on human livelihoods. He has co-authored several peer-reviewed journal papers and a book titled:
• Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency:
• Assessment of Policies and Projects.
