GGA Action Areas
How does GGA Operate?
9
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
No complicated administrative structures, processes
avoid bureaucracy, focus on actions
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
