2. 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

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

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

5. Energy in bilateral cooperation – some examples Nepal In 1999 a 5 year programme (about USD 20M)  Improved cooking stoves. – 15.000 have been realised to date  Electricity from micro-hydropower plants – 300 kW are installed to date  Solar energy to households – about 8.000 installations have been realised to date

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

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

8. Energy in bilateral cooperation – some examples Mozambique Initiated in 2002 (about USD 60M). 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

9. 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

10. 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

11. 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
