This paper outlines research in the area of water and energy supply in Southern African countries: South Africa, Angola, Botswana, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Swaziland, Tanzania, Zambia, Zimbabwe. The study briefly explains when and why decentralized renewable energy technologies (RETs) for water services are not used, and or not used in the proper way; determines challenges and opportunities to inform policies and initiatives aiming to enhance climate change adaptation capacity in areas under climate related water stress by using RETs; formalizes results for communication, and acts to define clear and practical entry points for further investment and research.
