Technology Cooperation Agreement Pilot Project (TCAPP)

The Technology Cooperation Agreement Pilot Project (TCAPP) is helping developing countries design and implement actions to attract investment in clean energy technologies that will meet their economic development goals, while mitigating greenhouse gas emissions. TCAPP is currently facilitating voluntary partnerships between the governments of Brazil, China, Egypt, Kazakhstan, Korea, Mexico, and the Philippines, the private sector, and the donor community on a common set of actions that will advance implementation of clean energy technologies. TCAPP is also assisting 14 countries in the Southern African Development Community with a regional technology cooperation needs assessment that was recently initiated by the Climate Technology Initiative (CTI). In the above countries, TCAPP has made strong progress in promoting the development of clean energy business investment partnerships. TCAPP has also become the leading model for implementation of technology transfer under the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change.
