The GVEP initiative was launched in 2002 at the World
Summit, in Johannesburg.
Brings together developing and developed country
governments, public and private organizations, multilateral
institutions and consumers to tackle the issues of energy
access and poverty reduction.
Goal of GVEP in Kenya is to enhance access to modern
energy while improving social economic development and
reduce poverty.
Subject GVEP to IAP to identify key weaknesses
Mainstream IAP into our other planning processes possibly at the
Description of the Project Process-cont.
GVEP seeks to make crucial linkages between energy, on one
hand and productive, social and consumptive applications in
non energy sectors of priority.
Sectors: Agriculture; Education, Health, SMEs,
Telecommunication, Water etc.
 IAP is a partnership between diverse membership from
Government of Kenya, Business community, civil society, and
other national stakeholders
 The Enhancing Capacity Integrated Assessment and
Sustainable Project is aimed at: enhancing the planning
capacity of the government of Kenya- Through the
development and widespread use of IAP approach

Overview of Main Issues Covered by GVEP


Access to modern energy service while improving economic
and social development, the quality of life and services, and
reducing poverty.
Promote the use of environmentally sound technology options
in a range of rural, peri-urban and urban areas where energy
access is lacking
Increase use of renewable energy resources-thro efficient
production and use of energy, greater reliance on advanced
energy technologies
Facilitate policy and market regulatory frameworks that create
the economic, social and institutional conditions to improve
access

Enhance human and institutional capacity in the
delivery of energy services.
Engage in the Partnership without discrimination with
respect to race, religion or gender.
Ensure that Partnership activities are effectively
integrated and coordinated with related activities at
the local, national, regional or global levels, including
programs implemented by partner organizations, host
country governments and other partnerships.

Challenges



Most energy projections in Kenya have relied on
historical data and not actual demand.
Projections that have been used in energy planning
have also failed to include conservation and efficiency
targets, and effects of technological development.
Indicative planning models on energy and GDP used
in Kenya are inappropriate-as they are based on
modes from developed countries with very different
energy-GDP interactions.
Key Economic, Social and
Environmental Issues
