Simiyu and Mwangi 57 Geothermal education in Africathe basic manpower and facilities to provide hands-on training in all phases of geothermaldevelopment from geothermal exploration to operation of geothermal power plants. The trainingcentre will initially start with short courses with emphasis on the practical training on i) field datacollection and processing, ii) equipment repair and maintenance iii) laboratory sample handling andanalysis, iv) providing graduates from neighbouring countries field experience and data in preparationfor the 6 months UNU-GTC training in Iceland. KenGen has thus drafted a plan for a geothermaltraining centre at Olkaria with six weeks annual training courses. It is hoped that some of the traineesfrom this school would go to the UNU-GTP for advance training.In addition to the formal training, three geothermal conferences have been held in Nairobi. During thelast conference in 2004, it was agreed that the Nairobi conference be called Eastern Africa Conferenceand to be held in different countries in the region so as to reach many different participants. The nextconference will be held in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia in November 2006.5. CONCLUSIONSTraining of scientists, engineers and technicians from Africa in the field of geothermal energydevelopment technologies has been very useful and will continue to be useful as more countriesdiversify their power generation mix to include geothermal as an indigenous and environmentallyfriendly source of energy. Some countries are already ahead of others in manpower development thusthose still behind will require training to build up the necessary manpower. All these training needswill be realised if UNU-GTP will strive to attain its target of ten trained geothermal experts percountry, continued UNU funded training in specialised areas for countries ahead in man power and theestablishment of the East African Geothermal Resources Centre under ARGeo, which has recentlybeen established by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP).REFERENCESBertani, R., 2005: World geothermal generation 2001-2005: State of the art.
