The Problem is More Than
Electricity
• Half the World Relies on
traditional biomass for
heating/cooking needs.
• Women in some LDCs
spend 1/3 of their
productive life collecting &
transporting wood
• Indoor air pollution kills
more women/children than
malaria and tuberculosis.
• Deforestation causing
environmental problems
GVEP Overview

Launch: August ’02 at WSSD
Goal: Increase energy access to

Objectives

those unserved/underserved while
reducing poverty





Catalyze country commitments to
energy-poverty reduction
Bridge financing gap between
investors, suppliers and users
Facilitate policy and regulatory
frameworks for scale-up
Serve as a marketplace for
lessons learned, best practices
Create/sustain coordination
mechanisms

The GVEP Approach






Technology neutral (clean sources to
the extent possible)
Multi-application: electricity,
heating, cooking, lighting, cooling,
transport, etc. (i.e. not just power)
Multi-use: Emphasis on productive
use & livelihoods; also consumptive
& social
Multi-stakeholder: private, public,
NGO
Multi-sector: energy, ag, water,
health, education, SMEs, etc
Market principles

GVEP: Lessons Learned to Date
Lessons Learned to Date:
Country Activities








Linking energy to cross sector applications not being done well
17 of 30 countries participating in regional workshops
incorporated lessons learned right away
National level activities generally require GVEP support
Pilots are important: demonstrate new models, results
Activities should link to follow on funding/investment
No one size fits all
We are making a difference: Governments, NGOs, private
firms, donors are changing the way they are thinking and
delivering energy services
Links to policy and regulatory reforms key to scale up
Programs take time to develop; yet people want results
quickly
Lessons Learned to Date: Financing
and Capacity Development



There is a need for financing support across the spectrum
 Pre-feasibility, feasibility, investment, insurance; must be linked
 Global funding mechanisms for RE services not effective
 Local liquidities are key (local currencies, management, operation)
 Call for risk sharing and risk mitigation instruments
 Carbon finance can play a role
Microfinance institutions are effective credit delivery
mechanisms in rural areas (e.g., women)
 Not focused on energy to date
 Recognition that energy offers a new, profitable product line
 Energy products must be demand driven; link to income generation
 Cases exist where MFI’s support energy
Markets need to grow on their own strengths not on subsidies
 However “smart” subsidies may be necessary/appropriate
GVEP: Some Lessons Learned To
Date (Cont’d)



Knowledge Management
 Knowledge Gap exists for all players
 Outreach needed to reach non-web partners/institutions
Monitoring and Evaluation
 M&E is often overlooked and under-funded
 Substantial M&E experience exists across partners, yet not shared, not
coordinated, not standardized
Cross Cutting: Public-Private Partnerships are key
• Governments/IFIs: Create enabling environment via policies/regs,
credit access (not delivery)
• Bilateral Donors: Support for technical assistance, Training, Capacity
Building, Knowledge Sharing
• MDBs: Financing and risk sharing
• Private Sector: Marketing, sales, after service sales, quality control,
financing/credit
• Financial Institutions: Investment
• Consumers: Provide demand and pay the bills
