CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:The United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD)
  has a project promoting technology assessment (TA) in the energy and agri
 cultural sectors in Africa.\n\nIn South Africa\, following a comprehensive
  review of national development plans and the technological landscape\, it
  has been decided that the focus of the TA will be on electrolysis product
 ion for green hydrogen production.\n\nIn order to ensure a participatory a
 nd inclusive approach\, essential for generating ap-propriate policy recom
 mendations for the TA report\, the insights and perspectives of stakeholde
