Humbled to have been recognized in the top for Hydrology and Hydraulics of Hydropower Engineering. Being an Africa Fellowship for Young Energy Leaders (AFYEL) fellow has had me reading and interacting with other fellows. I have learned about the different types of hydropower systems, the hydrological and hydraulic principles that govern them, and the environmental and social impacts of hydropower development in depths I could never have achieved on my own. Thank you Africa Fellowship for Young Energy Leaders (AFYEL) #renewableenergy #energyleaders #hydropower #africa

Check slide 2 and see the benefits of the #Afyel internship and then Read what our fellow Ronald Trensio Dama said. The #AFYEL cohort 3 fellowship program has come to an end and we are preparing for Graduation on 1st April. Beyond training our fellows on the #engineering and #economics of Hydropower, OnshoreWind, Bioenergy and Solar power - we also gave them #real industrial experience through the Internship program. Our fellow - Ronald Trensio Dama who joined our program under the Bioenergy track interned with #Malawi’s leading Bioenergy company - @Assorted Waste an experience which helped broaden his mind on the #Bioenergy principles that he learned over the course of 6 months program.
