How we work
The main objective of NVE’s international engagement is to implement projects that deliver measurable improvements within professional fields corresponding to NVE’s mandate. Through the exchange of knowledge and experience, these projects contribute to increased predictability and transparency in the public sector of partner countries.
We prioritise cooperation with partners that request Norwegian expertise in power sector management and solutions in areas where NVE has comparative advantages and available professional resources.
Capacity building focuses on strengthening the ability of individuals and organisations to effectively use their own resources and achieve their objectives in a sustainable manner.
