  1. MI’s ETA works through strategic partnerships to design and deliver applied learning, workforce development, and leadership initiatives across the energy transition ecosystem. ETA’s partnership model emphasizes collaboration with sector practitioners, regional institutions, and peer networks to ensure programs are grounded in real-world energy systems. 

 

Flagship partnerships through the Global Women in Clean Energy (GWiCE) initiative include collaboration with the Global Women Network for the Energy Transition (GWNET), the Ethiopian Women in Energy Association (EWiEn), the Lagos Energy Academy, and the Kafue Gorge Regional Training Center (Zambia), which contribute technical expertise, regional insight, and mentorship to fellowship delivery. GWiCE is also implemented in close coordination with United National Development Programme’s Africa Minigrids Program (AMP, of which the ETA is an implementing partner across 21 countries), leveraging its regional networks, project experience, and local partnerships across SubSaharan Africa and Southeast Asia.  

ETA’s partnerships are intentionally designed as longterm, learningoriented engagements that strengthen local capacity, amplify practitioner networks, and support the evolution of more integrated, marketaligned workforce solutions over time.
