Partnerships and collaboration between organisations and countries can be crucial drivers of innovation to address social and environmental problems.

Bay of Plenty iwi Ngati Tahu and Contact Energy teamed up to share their experience in engaging indigenous communities in geothermal energy with a Maasai tribe in Kenya.

The group arrived back from their second exchange a few months ago and where they worked with Maasai communities and Kenyan power company KenGen, to support both parties in growing their relationships around the geothermal resource in Kenya.
