Under outcome 2, the project achieved EIA studies for the Red Sea project and completed a study on the effect of wind turbines on Migratory Soaring Birds in Dongola (site for the pilot project) and along the Red Sea. This is deemed a remarkable achievement as it is a critical study that needs to be done ahead of any installations on the ground, especially along the Red Sea coast which represents an important flyway for the soaring birds.
