This deliverable constitutes the first of three versions of a short report on activities. As such, it does not present scientific content and it does not have the structure of a scientific report (among others, no executive summary is needed). It provides a concise account of the activities carried out in Task 5.4 (Supporting existing energy & climate partnerships and reports, led by Enda Energie) and Task 5.5 (Contribution to the work of the AU-EU High Level Policy Dialog (HLPD) Climate Change and Sustainable Energy (CCSE) partnership and collaboration with other AU-EU energy projects, led by KTH Royal Institute of Technology) and their scope.
