A partnership for competence development in engineering for the energy sector between Norway & Eastern Africa

The East African region is facing the shortage of engineers

• Middle income countries• 1 engineer : 2000 people

• Industrialized countries• 20 engineers: 10,000 people

UNESCO engineer ratios:

Engineering Gap in Kenya to reach indstrial-ized nation ranges

The story of civilization is, in a sense, the story of engineering - that long and arduous struggle to make the forces of nature work for man's good.

East African countries faces a Petroleum boom• Tanzania -> Norwegian Statoil

and Dutch Shell/BG found more than 51 trillion cubic feet natural gas offshore

• Mosambique -> US Anadarko and Italian ENI have found more than 200 trillion cubic feet natural gas offshore

• Uganda -> 500 billion cubic feet of natural gas and 6.5 billion barrels of oil

• Kenya -> Predictions hold 10 billion barrels of oil - enough to run Kenya for 300 years!
