A joint project to accelerate South Africa’s energy and water transitions to be more efficient and sustainable – the South African Industry Adaption (SAIA) project – was officially launched on April 5 between the government of Belgium (through the embassy in South Africa – Flanders) and the United Nations Industrial Development Corporation (Unido).
Flanders is contributing R41-million (€2.4-million) to the project, following a proposal for funding partners by Unido.
