Overview ® Danish Development Cooperation ® Activities in Danish Cooperation ® Energy in bilateral Cooperation – some examples ® Energy in multilateral Cooperation – some examples ® Energy under MIFRESTA – some examples ® Lessons Learned

Danish Development Cooperation Ø Poverty reduction through sustainable development. Provided as: üBilateral cooperation ü 15 programme partner countries (low income countries) üPrivate Sector Programme üMixed Credit Facility üNGOs Ø Multilateral cooperation - UN organisations, the Development banks and GEF for instance. Ø MIFRESTA - environment, natural disasters and peace. Low and middle income + economies in transition. UNEP/Risø activities

Activities in Danish Cooperation Ø Partner countries’ needs and priorities (PRSP) Ø Low-income countries ü broad-based enabling frameworks Ø Middle-income countries ü specific gaps Ø Capacity development and technology transfer Ø Assessment of alternative technological options required. Ø RET and EE on supply and demand side.

Energy in bilateral cooperation – some examples Nepal In 1999 a 5 year programme (about USD 20 M) ® Improved cooking stoves. – 15. 000 have been realised to date ® Electricity from micro-hydropower plants – 300 k. W are installed to date ® Solar energy to households – about 8. 000 installations have been realised to date

Energy in bilateral cooperation – some examples Burkina Faso On the 2 nd 5 -year programme (about USD 40 M) ® Institutional strengthening – frameworks ® Traditional energy ® RET and EE (industry + household/public sector + norms for buildings) ® Rural electrification – demonstration projects

Energy in bilateral cooperation – some examples Niger and Ghana Traditional energy and RET ® Preparation of energy sector programme in Ghana (about USD 30 M) ® Rural electrification ® Traditional + RET Egypt ® Programme on RET and EE on demand supply side (USD 20 M)

Energy in bilateral cooperation – some examples Mozambique Initiated in 2002 (about USD 60 M). Sofola chosen. ® End-users’ identified needs for energy services ® Network-building. Public – private partnerships ® Institutional strengthening at local level ® Identified needs for CB of stakeholders involved

Energy in bilateral cooperation – some examples ® Earmarked funds for RET and EE development to WB and ADB ® Affrei – demonstration programme - “next generation” of energy projects from government-led to private-led rural electrification/ transformation - cross-sectoral approach ® UNEP/Risø and CTI ® Promote sustainable energy solutions

Energy under MIFRESTA – some examples ® Projects on - RET (wind and solar) - EE (building sector in South Africa) - Institutional strengthening – planning, frameworks in a number of African and Asian Countries ® Projects in economies in transition - Improved heating systems - District heating

Lessons Learned ® Organisational set-up is the single most important thing ® Top down vs Buttom up. ® Demonstration projects – scaling up to make a difference ® Private sector involvement in all seizes
