Media Support for the Distribution of the Digitalization Study for the South African-German Energy Partnership

The South African-German Energy Partnership, implemented by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) was set up in 2013 between the German Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Action and the South African Department of Mineral Resources and Energy. Additional key stakeholders involved are further government departments (e.g., Department of Trade, Industry and Competition, Department of Science and Innovation), as well as the German and South African private sector representatives. The Secretariat of the bilateral energy partnership is tasked with the implementation of targeted communication measures to raise public interest in issues related to the global energy transition and to share information about the energy partnership between South Africa and Germany and its activities with key stakeholders. 

As part of the Policy advice on decarbonisation and achieving climate neutrality, the Secretariat of the Energy Partnership commissions targeted technical studies to contribute empirical evidence aimed at supporting and influencing policy decision making in the public and private domain. In this regard, a study aimed at scoping opportunities for digitalization in the South African energy sector was commissioned. The main objective of the assignment was to assess the opportunities presented by digitalization in the energy sector to advance energy security and the transition towards a future decarbonised energy system that includes associated socio-economic opportunities. This work produced rich content that needs to be distributed to the relevant stakeholders using effective means and platforms. It is therefore, the intention of the Secretariat to appoint a media house to collaborate with in the dissemination of the findings of the study.
