Conclusion.
1.0 Introduction of Global Energy Situation
• About 2 billion people, mostly in rural areas have
no access to electricity.
• A further 2 billion are severely undersupplied
• One-third of the world relies on traditional fuelswood, dung and agricultural residues for heating
and cooking needs.
• Conventional models of development assistance
and financing energy systems is declining to meet
energy needs of people, especially in rural areas
• While the amount of development assistance is
declining from multilateral banks and donors,
demand for capital and investment is increasing.
1.0 Global situation continues
• Energy and its linkage to development are
increasingly being recognized in various global fora.
• In the Ninth Session of the CSD of April 2001,
Governments of the world concluded that access to
affordable modern energy is prerequisite for halving
poverty level goals by year 2015.
• Energy and sustainable development centred the
WSSD summit debate - Johannesburg, 2002.
• GVEP was one output of WSSD, launched to foster
partnership at all levels in order to improve access
to reliable and affordable energy services for
sustainable development sufficient to achieve the
millennium development goals.
2.0 Tanzania Energy Situation
• Of Tanzania's 34 million inhabitants, less than 10%
have access to grid-based electricity and other
forms of commercial energy.
• Over 98% of rural people remain unconnected to
modern energy technologies,
• They rely on biomass sources, kerosene and dry
cell batteries.
• Biomass fuels (firewood and charcoal) accounts for
over 90% of energy end-use in the country, largely
in the household sector.
• Petroleum contributes about 8% to energy end-use,
while electricity, mostly from large-scale hydro,
accounts for less than 2% of final energy end-use.
2.0 Tanzania energy continues
• A number of energy initiatives, have been initiated
by the government of Tanzania in collaboration with
development partners and stakeholders to combat
energy poverty situation in Tanzania.
• Among others, there is Sida - Institutional Support
Program (ISP), ADB - Rural Energy Master Plan,
The World Bank - Energizing Rural Transformation.
• UNDP has a number of projects including
Transformation of Rural PV Market in Tanzania,
Cross Border Biodiversity projects and many
others.
3.0 Global Village Energy Partnership
• GVEP - launched by UNDP and the World Bank.
• Brings together developing and industrialized
countries, public and private sectors, etc., to address
energy access and poverty reduction.
• GVEP is coordinated and managed by Technical
Secretariat
• GVEP is an approach to accelerate pace and scope of
energy interventions to improve access to energy
services for an additional 300 million people, mainly in
rural areas, by 2015.
• GVEP develops analysis and advocacy tools, means
of knowledge networking, partnership strategies to
support country and regional cooperation to deliver
energy services to meet the needs of the poor to
support sustainable development.
3.0 GVEP continues
• GVEP strategy is forming partnerships, bringing
together developing country and industrialized
governments, development partners, private firms,
consumer groups, NGOs, research institutions,
financial community and other stakeholders, to
facilitate access of affordable energy services to the
poor at a high rate.
• GVEP activities will be carried out under a 10-year
“implementation-based” program.
• Objectives - catalyze country commitments to rural
energy programs, bridge gaps between investors/
entrepreneurs and energy, facilitate policy and
market regulatory frameworks, marketplace for
information and best practices, facilitate an effective
coordination mechanism.
4.0 GVEP in Tanzania
• Immediately after the WSSD in
Johannesburg in 2002, awareness on GVEP
initiative grew among different stakeholders
including the MEM, development partners
and NGOs.
• Implementation of Tanzania GVEP activities
started recently after UNDP signed a contract
with a consortium of TaTEDO and
TASONABI to facilitate GVEP activities
implementation in Tanzania on 1st of August
2005 to 31st July 2006.
5.0 Tanzania GVEP Objectives
• The main objective is contributing to improve
livelihood assets of rural population through
improved access to better energy services of rural
communities.
• Specific objectives aim at:
• Accelerating delivery of modern energy
services to rural communities in Tanzania with
a focus on Multifunctional Platforms.
• Adding value and facilitate energy as means
for sustainable development through services
including in-country action plan development,
capacity development (piloting MFPs),
knowledge management; monitoring and
evaluation of results and impacts.
6.0 GVEP Specific activities include
• Assist the establishment of Rural Energy Working
Group (REWG) to be chaired by MEM with
members from various sectors and partners.
• Undertake energy-poverty baseline study that will
identify barriers to scaling up of energy services in
the country to reduce poverty.
• Supporting the integration and mainstreaming of
energy in implementation of the NSGRP.
• Collect, update and analyze information on MFP,
mini hydro, wind, biomass and solar energy
resources and identify best practice energy
technologies to be developed in rural communities
in the future.
6.0 Activities continue
• Raising awareness in the investment community on
investment possibilities associated with rural
energy services and disseminate information on
specific rural energy projects.
• Organize and participates in workshops organized
by other partners for the purpose of sharing
experiences with other partners/countries.
• Explore options for linking MEM’s energy
information system/data base with the GVEP and
UNDP’s knowledge network SEKN.
• Establish an appropriate monitoring and evaluation
system (poverty-energy-gender indicators) for rural
energy compatible with the national monitoring
frameworks.
7.0 Expected outputs
• Inception report - approach, methodology and
detailed work plan.
• REWG, a broad based working group formed
providing inputs to action plans/ strategies – TOR
for the group, in place.
• Energy baseline study report – Stakeholder register
of key actors and stakeholders in the rural energy.
• Two MFPs piloted through a broad consultation
process and proposals for moving these to
implementation submitted.
• Awareness and dissemination packages of rural
energy initiatives, Institutional and Legal Framework
for rural actors developed and awareness created in
identified target regions and stakeholder groups.
7.0 Outputs continues
• In consultation with GVEP technical secretariat,
database developed to streamline the national
energy database with global energy systems.
• Information exchange between Tanzania’s
energy practitioners in GVEP and UNDP’s
network SEKN through the establishment of
online discussions groups.
• An M&E system for rural energy compatible with
the national monitoring frameworks established
and capacity to keep it up and running built.
• A comprehensive road map report, suggesting
the way forward to implement modern energy
technologies and best practices available.
8.0 Implementation Strategy
• Intensive literature review, consultation with
relevant energy stakeholders at all levels, field
visits for energy data collection and observation of
energy situation and assessment, meetings/
workshops, networking with GVEP secretariat and
other energy services.
• Other general approaches are participation of local
communities, building on existing experiences and
adoption of a holistic approach to meet non-energy
organizations, understanding of Tanzania energy
balance and upward fuel switch opportunities and
institutional capacity building.
8.0 Strategy continue
• Organization, Management and
Coordination: team leader, technical
advisor, assistant team leader
• Specific expertise will be sought on
activities demand basis.
• Each activity has an expert leader in
consultation with the team leader and

Eradicate Extreme Poverty and hunger
by 2015
Clean efficient fuels reduce the large share of
household income spent on cooking lighting and
keeping warm.
95 percent of all staple food need cooking
Energy can be used to help farming, sowing and
harvesting crops and to process and transport food.
Access to modern reliable energy services enables
enterprise development and agro processing which
provides employment, adds value to produce and
hence more income to rural communities.
Micro hydro is potential in provision of modern
energy for productive use in rural communities

technologies potential for improved production,
hence reduce poverty and women’s time
• Partnership could allow for in flow of new
technological expertise and resources that are
needed for development
• Partnership could bring in investment that not
only will increase production but also provide
employment which is strategic to poverty
reduction
10.0 Conclusion
• GVEP initiative is implemented in Tanzania at the
right time. Concerted efforts among different
sectors should be forged to see to it that energy
delivery and availability to rural communities is
intensified for sustainable development .
• Integrated approach is vital for energy availability
to bear expected fruits.
• Timely financing, awareness, infrastructure
development, resources and technical capabilities
are equally important for GVEP success in
Tanzania
