How will GGA Operate?

10

Neutrality and transparency no preferential treatment

for a particular country, technology, scheme

Build on structures, programs and facilities on the

ground avoid overlaps, duplicated efforts

Unlocking geothermal projects facing policy, legal,

regulatory, fiscal, funding, capacity building challenges

Enabling most mature projects or countries with

transformative potential that would result in high impact

No complicated administrative structures, processes

avoid bureaucracy, focus on actions

Implementation of Activities under GGA Action Plan
