TOP AFRICA NEWS has learnt that this week, the Global Green Growth Institute Rwanda team welcomed a delegation of officials from Export-Import Bank of Korea, Korea Research Institute on Climate Change, and specialists from GGGI headquarters for the Inception Seminar for the project on “Enhancing Institutional Capacities for Facilitating the Use of Internationally Transferred Mitigation Outcomes Through Electric Mobility.”
They were also welcomed by officials from Rwanda’s Ministry of Infrastructure as it was planned on their schedule.
