This should be achieved by strategically financing private sector investments which can spur green economic development, together with relevant advisory services, technical assistance and training on renewable energy, agro-ecological approaches and nature-based solutions. EU financing should be used to catalyse systemic and sustainable changes in market systems and de-risk investment opportunities. The financial support and technical assistance to the private sector should be complemented by the provision of TVET programmes related to renewable energy and green skills, including long-term servicing of installed infrastructure and management/recycling of Renewable Energy infrastructure at its end-of-life. EU support should also seek to consolidate established collaboration with EU MS as the proposed Action should be easily scalable with additional funding from EU MS. Given the very large investment needs across the country, EU programmes should also emphasise investment opportunities in Somalia with a view to scale-up DFI and local financing in the medium term."}, {"bbox": [141, 604, 1115, 656], "category": "Text", "text": "Identification of main stakeholders and corresponding institutional and/or organisational issues (mandates, potential roles, and capacities) to be covered by the action:"}, {"bbox": [180, 656, 1175, 813], "category": "List-item", "text": "* Government institutions at FGS and Federal Member State (FMS) levels will be involved in coordination and policy-making, based on their mandate and respective areas of expertise.
