Danish Development Cooperation
Poverty reduction through sustainable development. Provided as:
Bilateral cooperation15 programme partner countries (low income countries)Private Sector Programme Mixed Credit FacilityNGOs
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
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.
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
Energy in bilateral cooperation – some examples
Burkina Faso
On the 2nd 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
Energy in bilateral cooperation – some examples
Niger and GhanaTraditional 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)
Energy in bilateral cooperation – some examples
MozambiqueInitiated 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
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
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
Lessons Learned Organisational set-up is the single most
important thingTop down vs Buttom up. Demonstration projects – scaling up to
make a differencePrivate sector involvement in all seizes
