Interactive learning spaces : Insights from two wind power megaprojects
In Pathways to Sustainability, 2022
Abstract
Kenya and Ethiopia are frontrunners in the region when it comes to adding wind power to their power generation capacity and there is high interest from project developers. The chapter uses the lens of ‘interactive learning spaces’ to understand how interactions between different stakeholders in a megaproject can lead to the accumulation of technological and managerial capabilities. The two projects offer interesting and different examples of the types of learning spaces in which the transfer of both formalised and tacit knowledge can occur. The chapter argues that it is important to understand and deliberately create and nurture such interactive learning spaces in order to spur and sustain local skills upgrading and capability-building in connection to large infrastructure projects based on imported key technologies.
