3. 1. Introduction
Aim to develop Small Hydropower (SHP) technical guidelines which will serve as the bases for the development of International Standards for SHP development
Cooperation with UNIDO,SAC,COMESA etc.

4. 2. Background Origin of the project Challenges Target Beneficiaries
Developing countries facing problems with access to clean and affordable electrification
Vast potential for SHP existing world-wide as seen on the World Small Hydropower Development Report 2016
Global potential: 217 GW, Actual Installed Capacity: 78 GW
Challenges
Various localized standards available, but no comprehensive international standard for SHP development
Best practices and technologies available in countries such as Austria, Brazil, China, India, Japan, USA, etc. but knowledge not globally available
Target Beneficiaries
Primary: Developing countries without access to standards for SHP development
Secondary: Manufacturers and investors of SHP plants, for transparency and security
Strategies and Linkage with Development Objectives
Addressing Sustainable Development Goal 7, with impact on also Goal 5, 9 and 13
Addressing UNIDO’s goal of Inclusive and Sustainable Industrial Development

5. 3. Project Overview Objective Purpose
To develop SHP Technical Guidelines with will serve as the bases for the development of international standards for SHP development, so as to facilitate green, regulated, ordered and healthy development of SHP
Purpose
Standardisation is necessary to optimise SHP management systems and scale up its quality and sustainability worldwide.

6. 4. Methodology
Identify and collect the existing SHP technical guidelines, standards, case studies and best practices
Analyse available data, collect missing data and create draft guidelines
Develop five technical guidelines, including:
The general technical guideline
Planning technical guideline
Construction technical guideline
Equipment technical guideline
Operation and management guideline.
Disseminate the technical guidelines through training sessions

7. 4. Methodology
Invite international SHP experts to establish expert working group for technical guideline development and a technical steering committee for monitoring and supervision
Organize workshops and organize an International peer review
Once edited and completed, have a validation workshop
Finally look to develop IWA into ISO standard

8. 4. Methodology

9. 5. Co-ordination Roles Project will be managed by UNIDO PTC/ENE
Project is a UNIDO Dept. of Energy initiative and will align the focus of the departmental focus of SDG 7 and UNIDO mandate of SDG 9
Lead role in standardization from UNIDO PTC/TII
UNIDO Dept. of Trade, Investment and Innovation will be the key focal point in the standardization process due to their experience and success in the process
Executing agency of the guidelines development will be the ICSHP
ICSHP is public non profit institution under the auspices of UNIDO, MWR China and MOFCOM China, with an expertise and track record of small hydropower development projects

10. 6. Expected Results Expected Impact Expected Outcome Expected Outputs
More cost effective development of small hydropower plants, with quality assurance and transfer of reliable and comprehensive knowledge
Expected Outcome
More efficient and effective global construction of Small Hydropower Plants. As well as the facilitation of green, regulated, ordered and healthy development of SHP.
Expected Outputs
Output 1: Preparation of SHP technical guidelines
Output 2: Development and compilation of the technical guidelines
Output 3: Peer review and approval of the technical guidelines
Output 4: Monitoring and application of the technical guidelines

11. 7. Operational Processes
Total Project Duration: 18 months
Expected Finish date: September 2019
Monitoring and Evaluation:
Evaluation Report will be made available following the completion of the project, with the identified criteria of the project document
