The Global Village Energy Partnership (GVEP), created in September, 2002, is an international network open to all individuals and various organizations-- national government institutions, bilateral and multilateral development banks, professional associations, research institutions, non-governmental organizations, foundations, and private businesses--concerned with delivering modern energy services to the world's unserved and underserved. Over 250 partners from around the world have joined GVEP to date. 2. GVEP promotes the role of energy in poverty reduction while working to reach the millions in developing countries without sustainable energy access. Through its network of partners, GVEP offers five core services--facilitating national action planning and investments in energy-poverty reduction, harnessing and sharing best practices and lessons learned in the energy field, developing the capacity of energy providers and consumers, linking energy providers to sources of financing, and monitoring the impact of energy on poverty reduction. 3. GVEP offers a new approach for reaching the 2-3 billion people without energy services. GVEP moves beyond electricity to address the broader range of heating, cooling and cooking needs. GVEP is technology neutral, advocating those options that best meet the local needs, requirements and resources. GVEP recognizes energy as an input not output, linking to the agriculture, business education, health, and water communities to improve quality of life and contribute to economic development. GVEP commits to a 10-year program to reach over 300 million people and thousands of communities in addressing energy poverty. And, GVEP acknowledges that meeting the global energy demand is beyond the capability and capacity of any one organization, requiring a pooling of resources, skills and organizations to address the need. v List of Abbreviations and Acronyms AFREPREN/FWD African Energy Policy Research Network APEC Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation BASE Basel Agency for Sustainable Developmentt CDCF Community Development Carbon Fund DME Department of Mines and Energy DFID Department for International Development EDF Electricité de France GTZ Deutsche Gessellschaft für Technische Zusammenarbeit ESMAP Energy Sector Management Assistance Programme ENDA Environment and Development Action ERA Environnement Recherche Action EUEI European Union Energy Initiative GVEP Global Village Energy Partnership IEC Integrated Energy Center KITE Kumasi Institute of Technology KfW Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau LPG Liquefied Petroleum Gas MDG Millenium Development Goals NREL National Renewable Energy Laboratory OAS Organization of American States PRSP Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper PCF Prototype Carbon Facility SIDA Swedish International Development Agency UNDP United Nations Development Programme USAID United States Agency for International Development WSSD World Summit on Sustainable Development vii Message from the GVEP Partner Board Chairman GVEP was officially launched at the World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD) in Johannesburg, South Africa on August 31, 2002. Now, a little over a year later, I am pleased to release GVEP's first annual report, reviewing the inaugural year of our planned 10-year partnership. With the publication of this first annual report, GVEP marks an important milestone towards achieving recognition as a comprehensive partnership of knowledge and action on delivering modern energy services to the poor. GVEP now has a growing membership of 257 partners that are committed and currently contributing to GVEP's mission. As you will see in this report, GVEP partners have reached hundreds of stakeholders in dozens of countries around the world in activities ranging from assisting 27 government ministries in the development of national energy action plans to developing an online energy financing portal with over 120 sources of funding for energy service providers. I invite you to visit our Web site at www.gvep.org for more details. This past year was a critical one in which we established the organizational governance and management of GVEP. We approach the end of this year with a governing 13- member Partnership Board and an implementing 6-member Technical Secretariat in place. Carrying out our initial activities this past year was facilitated by donor funding of over $8 million. I would like to thank the bilateral and multilateral external support agencies that continue to provide the financial funds on which our work depends. Though the Technical Secretariat has been admirably hosted by UNDP/World Bank Energy Sector Management Program (ESMAP) on an interim basis, we are now in the process of transitioning the Secretariat to a more permanent venue and expect this to be complete by July 1, 2004. As I write, a transition plan is in preparation to this end. The challenge before GVEP today remains the same as was articulated at WSSD­­to link our vast knowledge and experience to improve energy delivery services for the world's poor so that they may lead a better life. GVEP will continue to pursue this goal through leveraging the immense resources and strengths of its partners in 2004. Paul Hassing GVEP Board Chairman ix 1 Partnering to Meet the Energy Needs of the Developing World The Linkage of Energy and Poverty 1.1 Today, there are up to 1.7 billion people in Asia, Africa, and Latin America without access to modern energy services, and approximately 1 billion with limited or sporadic access. Nearly 3 billion people, the majority of whom live in rural or peri-urban areas, are forced to rely on traditional biomass--inefficiently harnessed fuel wood, dung, or crop residue--for their cooking and heating needs. This option wreaks environmental havoc through the destruction of vital forests. It also produces excessive indoor air pollution, leading to high rates of morbidity and mortality through exposure to noxious fumes. This health burden is severe--each year indoor air pollution kills 2 million women and children with indoor air pollution estimated to cause 36% of all lower respiratory infections, 22% of tuberculosis, 11% of asthma, and 3% of lung cancers. Traditional biomass also offers few options for harnessing energy for the productive end uses that would help the millions trying to escape from poverty. Energy is at the center of many of the most critical development challenges facing the world today...improving access to energy services is not an end in itself but rather a critical means for achieving the goals of sustainable development, and especially the Millennium Development Goals. Mark Malloch Brown, Administrator of the United Nations Development Programme 1 2 Global Village Energy Partnership Annual Report 2003 1.2 Energy is not an end in itself, but a means to eradicating poverty and improving the overall welfare The Path to the of the world's poor. Whether it is used for heating and Partnership cooking food, powering machinery for income generation, improving the quality of health services 12/2000 through refrigeration at health facilities, or extending Village Power students' study time through lighting, energy can be used Communiqué signed at to achieve all the Millennium Development Goals Village Power 2000 (MDGs), ultimately alleviating people from poverty. Conference, Washington, DC, calling for "village 1.3 Against this background of unsatisfied power partnership" demand, a number of technical, financial, and institutional innovations have been established to better deliver energy services to those in need. These include 1/2001-8/2002 the development of clean, safe, affordable technology Consultation of over 2,500 alternatives to grid-based power, innovative financing people in designing mechanisms that enable the poor to purchase energy partnership technologies, and customer-oriented business models employed by a growing number of local energy service providers. 1.4 However, while such innovations do exist, 8/2002 the potential for scaling these up has been limited by a Launch of GVEP at the lack of coordination, communication, understanding, and World Summit on trust among the wide variety of stakeholders involved, Sustainable Development, namely, governments, multilateral agencies, the private Johannesburg, South sector, NGOs, and local communities. A number of Africa barriers have thwarted reaching those in need, including the lack of accessible financing and capacity for energy 9/2003 providers to expand their businesses and inflexible GVEP is housed in government standards and policies that favor the grid and ESMAP in Washington, thwart the expansion of other sustainable technology DC options. 2/2003 GVEP Partnership Board elected 5/2003 First Partnership Board meeting held in Washington, DC Partnering to Meet the Energy Needs of the Developing World 3 GVEP Overview 1.5 GVEP is directly addressing these issues. First conceived at the Village Power 2000 Conference on December 5-7, 2000, GVEP is a response to the call of attendees for the formation of a "Village Power Partnership" to achieve more sustained action in scaling up sustainable modern energy services and accelerating the rate of investments in such services. At the conference, representatives from 30 organizations drafted a Village Power Communiqué outlining the need for a partnership that would focus on energy as a means to ending poverty and achieving the MDGs. The Communiqué proposed the achievement of the following outcomes by 2010: ­ 30 new countries with national poverty reduction programs addressing modern energy services. ­ 300 million new people with access to modern energy services. ­ 50,000 new communities (including their schools, hospitals and clinics) with access to modern energy services. ­ Documented increases in productivity, income, environment, equity, and quality of life related to rural energy services. 1.6 After the Village Power 2000 Conference, numerous organizations including the World Bank, UNDP, ESMAP, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and Winrock International worked in collaboration to "operationalize" the vision of this partnership. These founding organizations held a series of consultations-- including a worldwide E-Village Consultation involving over 100 organizations and stakeholder dialogues involving 2,500 people­­to gain input on the goals, objectives, and work program of the proposed partnership. 1.7 Officially launched at the WSSD in Johannesburg, South Africa on August 31, 2002, with over 150 people in attendance, GVEP is the fruition of their efforts. 1.8 GVEP's approach is based on several core principles that reflect the demands made by the stakeholders during the consultations: ­ Energy interventions should focus on those most in need--the unserved or underserved in developing countries. In particular, GVEP should focus on populations in Asia, Africa, and Latin America that live in rural and peri-urban areas and lack access to modern energy for economic and social needs. ­ Energy services can greatly contribute to other sectors as a means for reducing poverty, Energy is critical to achieving all of the MDGs. GVEP's experience has demonstrated that many decision makers in other sectors do not understand the linkages between energy and their own sectoral goals and the benefits that improved energy services can offer in doing their jobs more effectively and efficiently. The sound delivery of energy services therefore involves users, planners, and policymakers at all levels and all sectors, including education, agriculture, water, health, telecommunications, and others. 4 Global Village Energy Partnership Annual Report 2003 ­ Energy concerns the needs of both men and women. Lack of energy services creates particular hardships for women, as they are typically the ones who collect fuel, cook over open fires, and use their own labor for daily household and production tasks. Such tasks take up much of their time and physical energy, while subjecting them to health hazards caused by indoor air pollution and the difficulties of carrying loads of fuel wood over long distances. This leaves little time and opportunity for education or income-generating activities. Without access to affordable energy services for productive activities, poor women cannot move towards sustainable livelihoods. Their views and participation should be taken into consideration when designing energy interventions. Through this initiative, we can help reduce poverty by substantially increasing the number of small- and medium-sized enterprises and institutions that can undertake village energy projects...only by working together, can we improve access to modern energy services that can transform lives and improve livelihoods. Peter Woicke, Executive Vice President of the International Finance Corporation and Managing Director of the World Bank Dr. Abeeku Brew-Hammond, Group Director Kumasi Institute of Technology, addressing the GVEP Launch Ceremony at the WSSD, August 31, 2002, Johannesburg, South Africa ­ All clean, efficient, and sustainable energy technologies matter. All environmentally sound and sustainable technology options, whether they are wind, solar, hydro, geothermal, biomass, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), and cleaner fossil fuels deserve equal attention in energy policies and funding. ­ All energy end uses matter. Heating, cooking, lighting, cooling, and income- generating end uses of energy are equally important in alleviating poverty and deserve equal attention in energy policies and funding. Partnering to Meet the Energy Needs of the Developing World 5 Partnership Service Lines 1.9 Through the experience, knowledge, and commitment of its partners, GVEP puts these principles into action. Partner feedback during the consultation process showed that GVEP's comparative advantage lies in offering services that have been historically absent in the energy sector and that no single organization can offer acting alone. Based on partner feedback, GVEP has organized its activities around five core service lines: ­ Action Planning and Investment. GVEP facilitates the development of national action plans that identify programs and projects to expand energy service delivery, and alleviate poverty, and secure investment for these activities. ­ Capacity Development. In its desire to develop and expand the number of entrepreneurs, consumer organizations, and credit systems operating in energy markets, GVEP benchmarks existing capacity building tools and organizes and designs training programs for practitioners. ­ Finance Facilitation. GVEP works with a broad range of financiers in expanding existing programs and creating new initiatives and financial instruments to increase the flow of resources to both providers of energy services and energy consumers. ­ Knowledge Management. By creating online and paper-based knowledge products and hosting networking events, GVEP serves as a marketplace of lessons learned, innovative approaches, and best practices for improved energy service delivery. ­ Results Monitoring. GVEP collects and monitors data in order to track the impact of energy services on poverty reduction and sustainable development. 6 Global Village Energy Partnership Annual Report 2003 Governance of GVEP 1.10 In 2002, a temporary Consultative Executive Board formed to determine the governance and management of GVEP. This group of 35 volunteers from various GVEP partner organizations guided the development of GVEP's current governance structure, including making recommendations on GVEP's operating procedures and establishing partner membership guidelines. In early 2003, the Consultative Executive Board recommended that GVEP be governed by a Partnership Board and implemented by a Technical Secretariat. The Partnership Board 1.11 In February 2003, an 11-person Partnership Board made up of representatives of diverse GVEP partners was elected, whereby the Consultative Executive Board terminated its responsibilities. During the summer of 2003, two additional members were elected to represent GVEP constituencies that were not included in the first Board election--the host institution of ESMAP and a developing country government. 1.12 Currently chaired by Paul Hassing, the 13-member Partnership Board has 12 voting members and 1 non-voting member of the Technical Secretariat. The Partnership Board serves in an advisory capacity to the Technical Secretariat, providing effective guidance and direction to the Partnership and conducting partner relations and outreach. The Board's activities include reviewing and providing input on annual work plans and budgets, reviewing GVEP progress and annual reports, and assisting in identifying and securing financing for the Technical Secretariat. The Board has no fiduciary responsibilities. Board members serve 2-year terms and operate as individuals not representatives of their host organizations. The Board held four meetings during 2003--on February 27 via telephone; May 13 in Washington, DC; September 16 via telephone; and December 17, 2003 in Berlin, Germany. Partnering to Meet the Energy Needs of the Developing World 7 The Technical Secretariat 1.13 The GVEP Technical Secretariat is a service provider as well as facilitator to all components of GVEP. The staff members of the Technical Secretariat include representatives of the private sector, multi-lateral and bi-lateral communities and are supported by the World Bank, ESMAP, UNDP, the Department for International Development (DFID) and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). They offer a perspective and expertise that are grounded in global experiences. 1.14 The Technical Secretariat carries out a number of core activities, undertaking tasks that grow out of decisions reached by the Partnership Board, are requested by other GVEP partners, or are based on its own initiative. Among its diverse activities, the Technical Secretariat oversees the resources for the funding of GVEP's activities and facilitates the delivery of GVEP's services. This includes implementing the logistics and disbursing funding for events and workshops, participating in strategic planning for the Partnership, organizing meetings of the Partnership Board, and maintaining the knowledge sharing and communication activities, which serve partners and the interested general public.

The partners offer their knowledge and resources and collaborate together to enhance the overall productivity and outputs of the Partnership. 1.16 The Partnership is constantly evolving and expanding, remaining open to any organization or individual willing to sign on to the GVEP Statement of Principles, which was drafted with the input of the diverse organizations comprising the Partnership. The Governance 1.17 At its May 13, 2003 meeting, the Board officially adopted a Governance Structure for GVEP that defines how the Partnership will be organized and operated. The Governance Structure includes a definition of the roles and responsibilities of the Board, the Technical Secretariat and the partners and provides procedures and terms for Board member election. 1.18 Also at this meeting it was agreed that the GVEP Technical Secretariat would begin to transition from its interim venue within ESMAP, to a more permanent location. A number of organizations and operating modalities are in consideration and it is anticipated that the Secretariat will be operational at its new venue by July 1, 2004.

During the workshops, participants also engage in a frank dialogue about the demand for energy services and reflect on how such services can aid in the achievement of the MDGs. These events have been critical in enabling participants Participants at Action Planning Workshop in Douala, from non-energy Cameroon, 2002 sectors to gain an awareness of the role energy plays in helping them achieve their own sectoral goals. At the end of each workshop, these diverse stakeholders collaborate in drafting national action plans that outline the priority energy interventions required to enhance the effectiveness of their own country's poverty reduction strategy, as exemplified in the Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (PRSP) process. 11 12 Global Village Energy Partnership Annual Report 2003 I had more of a chance to understand The highly successful Latin America and other sector needs in those 3 days than African regional workshops presented a in 3 years in my Ministry.

It was the first workshop held in the context of commitments pledged at the August 2002 WSSD in Johannesburg to scale up efforts to eradicate poverty in the next decade and to bring energy to the center of the development agenda. Additionally, it was the first of GVEP's meeting to be held in Africa and around the world specifically focused on how energy services can contribute to achieving the MDGs. Over 80 participants from Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zambia representing energy service companies, non-governmental organizations, finance institutions, donors, and government ministries attended the workshop. The workshop greatly benefited from the input of government ministers as well. At the workshop, participants met in plenary and break-out sessions to hear presentations and discuss issues including­­the poverty situation in each of the countries represented, an overview of the rural electrification programs in the region, and lessons and ideas for the implementation of energy programs or projects. Additionally, the workshop provided the opportunity for participants to discuss methodologies for measuring the benefits of energy projects and their impact on poverty. The workshop was unique in that it gave an opportunity for participants to reflect how energy services could be used to achieve the MDGs. Starting from the PRSP objectives and existing programs, country workgroups made up of representatives from different sectors brainstormed on key elements of an energy delivery plan for poverty reduction. Such elements included identifying energy interventions for priority sectors related to poverty reduction. These included the creation of hydro-powered small-scale irrigation and agro-processing industries, using solar power to electrify off-grid education and health centers, and erecting power plants to sanitize and clean water in peri-urban and rural areas. GVEP partners are now assisting all six countries in further refining these national action plans and securing funds for implementation. National Action Planning Support and Investment 2.3 Following the success of the regional action planning workshops, country governments that participated in the events are further refining their national action plans and gathering stakeholders on a national level so that their plans become bankable documents for mobilizing political commitment and investment support for the identified policy actions and priority projects. Several governments, with the help of GVEP partners the Kumasi Institute of Technology (KITE), NREL, the Swedish Development Agency (SIDA), UNDP, USAID, and the World Bank, are convening stakeholders to draft plans that identify energy needs, issues, barriers, and players in the target country; list concrete actions to address these issues; and set forth timetables, outcomes, and responsibilities and financing arrangements for the plans. Follow-up has begun in India, eight countries in Latin America and the Caribbean­­Bolivia, Brazil, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Peru­­and in eight countries in Africa­­Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Ghana, Mali , Senegal, South Africa, Tanzania, and Zambia. 14 Global Village Energy Partnership Annual Report 2003 2.4 A number of activities are needed to move from the planning stage to the implementation stage at the country level, including convening stakeholders, conducting energy sector analyses such as demand and natural resource surveys, developing small pilot projects, and mobilizing financing. GVEP partner countries have expressed the need for financial assistance for such activities. 2.5 GVEP is responding to these requests with donor funding provided through UNDP and ESMAP for GVEP follow-on support. Additionally, the GVEP Secretariat has initiated a funding mechanism to provide one-time grants of up to $100,000 for GVEP-related activities. The GVEP Secretariat developed the Country Action Plan Support Guidelines, which define the terms of and procedures for accessing this funding support. These guidelines can be accessed at www.gvep.org/section/services/actionplans. National Partnership Consultations 2.6 In addition to the above activities, the GVEP Technical Secretariat has responded to direct requests for support in a number of countries where a regional workshop has not yet occurred. In particular, the Secretariat is working with India, Sri Lanka, and South Africa to conduct national partnership consultations where national energy stakeholders can gain a better awareness about the situation of energy poverty in their own countries, what local GVEP partners can do at their country level to achieve the five service lines of GVEP, and further explore GVEP's role in enhancing existing efforts for further scale-up of successful energy programs and projects in the country.

The event was the first in the country in which diverse stakeholders working in the energy sector engaged in a collaborative dialogue around energy and poverty. At the event, attendees learned of the work of Integrated Energy Centers (IEC) under the Department of Provincial and Local Government's Integrated Sustainable Rural Development Programme, which strives to provide a basket of services related to energy delivery for the poor, including the provision of liquid fuels and electricity pre-payment cards. Local communities have created registered cooperatives that make financial contributions and provide the staff for the centers. In return, the centers' profits are used for developing the community. Participants discussed the merits of this cooperative model, issues related to scaling up the approach, as well as adding solar home systems and information and training on sustainable wood production and improved woodstoves to the services of the IECs. The meeting also offered the opportunity for partners to discuss their role in advancing the mission of GVEP. The partners wholeheartedly endorsed the mission of GVEP and pledged to contribute their knowledge and experience to the GVEP Knowledge Exchange. The partners also agreed that it would be beneficial to continue the dialog and collaboration among them and selected the Department of Mines and Energy to serve as a focal point in supporting them. Developing the Capacity of Stakeholders Training Workshops 2.7 Training workshops provide a forum for developing new skills and competencies in energy service delivery, At the Village Power Sustainability Workshop in Beijing, China, held on December 6-7, 2002 and sponsored by NREL and UNDP, diverse participants from throughout Asia discussed issues related to and lessons learned around operating a rural energy business, exploring such topics as offering after- sales services, training programs needed for rural energy businesses, ensuring spare parts for energy systems, and ensuring quality of technology. Participants were able to learn from diverse experiences on the ground, including specific programs and projects in China and Sri Lanka. 2.8 Based on attendee feedback, a training workshop on consumer credit and micro-finance for consumers and small and medium enterprises is being prepared for April in Manila, Philippines in cooperation with the Development Bank of the Philippines. This workshop is designed to examine the various models being used in energy and other sectors to deliver affordable credit to consumers in rural areas. The workshop will draw upon the experience of the practitioners and institutions in developing countries that have micro-finance and consumer credit programs to learn about the various models and approaches that might be appropriate for GVEP. 2.9 GVEP is also preparing an Asian Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) training program for mid-level managers in agriculture, health, water, education, and 16 Global Village Energy Partnership Annual Report 2003 other sectors on the importance of enhanced energy services in meeting their goals, objectives, and outcomes. Regional Capacity Nodes 2.10 In order to deliver the host of GVEP services to a growing list of countries, it is recognized that the Technical Secretariat may need to decentralize its efforts to the field and rely on regional "capacity nodes" to support implementation of GVEP activities at the country level. A full strategy is currently under development, which will outline the scope and function of the proposed GVEP capacity centers and identify a potential working modality for the centers. Facilitating Access to Financing 2.11 GVEP has spent the last year in defining its role in bridging the gap between financiers, entrepreneurs, and consumers in order to reduce constraints on and increase investment in energy projects and programs. 2.12 One activity included exploring GVEP's role in providing a pre- investment fund and strategizing around GVEP's role in the facilitation of financing for energy providers. In partnership with Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau (KfW), The GVEP Secretariat brought together private firms, NGOS, bankers, and fund managers to a Pre- Investment Fund Workshop in Berlin, Germany on April 23, 2003. At the event, participants explored GVEP's role in offering pre-investment support to entrepreneurs and firms, asking such questions such as: ­ What types of pre-investment products or services are needed to accelerate investment in energy services for productive, consumptive, and social needs? ­ How should these products or services be financed? Would there be value added from a new pre-investment fund and how could it complement existing funds? ­ How should pre-investment funding be managed and operated in developing country markets to ensure effectiveness and efficiency? ­ What would be the complementarity between pre-investment funding and broader financing facilitation products supported by GVEP and others? 2.13 The workshop was critical in clarifying GVEP´s role in pre-investment funds and finance facilitation. The workshop recommended that GVEP support efforts to increase financing support across the project spectrum from pre-investment support to debt, equity, quasi-equity, and broader investment assistance. The meeting clarified that pre-investment support, absent follow-on funding for implementation, was not sufficient and that both needed to be linked. The meeting also highlighted the need for funding access at the national, rather than the global level, including finding ways to stimulate local liquidities for energy-poverty programs. Specifically, it recommended that GVEP do the following: GVEP's Activities 17 1. Identify sources of funds (pre-investment and investment) from domestic and international sources, package this information in understandable and accessible formats, and make these available to service providers. 2. Help close the gap in pre-investment and investment financing by creating a virtual "brokerage house" for interested parties in order to accelerate deal flows. 3. Assist in the design and development of new domestic and international financing sources (pre-investment and investment) and improve efficiencies and operation of existing funds. 4. Support capacity building within the financial sector, e.g., local banker training, micro-credit organization training, and train-the-trainers programs. 5. Guide the use of soft funding to ease financing bottlenecks toward market-based solutions. 6. Support the design of risk mitigation instruments and other financial engineering that could increase the flow of funds for energy projects and programs. 7. Increase understanding of consumer issues with respect to modern energy delivery, including hosting a workshop on consumer credit and related issues. 2.14 GVEP partners have begun responding to these recommendations. For example, regarding Recommendation 1, Basel Energy for Sustainable Development (BASE) and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) have designed a web- based energy financing portal that documents financing sources for clean energy projects in a clear, concise, and readable manner. At present this site, which is currently available at http://www.fse-directory.net/, identifies 120 sources of energy financing and their terms and conditions. With GVEP support, this Directory will expand its coverage from a primary focus on industrialized country financing sources to a broader representation of developing country funding programs. 18 Global Village Energy Partnership Annual Report 2003 2.15 In response to the recommendation for capacity building within the financial sector, the GVEP Technical Secretariat is working with partner organizations UNDP and the UN Foundation to develop financial institution toolkits and training programs in Brazil and India. These training programs will involve local banking institutions and micro-credit organizations and will be held in Spring 2004. 2.16 Regarding Recommendation 6, the GVEP Technical Secretariat has signed a Memorandum of Understanding to work with the Prototype Carbon Facility's (PCF) Community Development Carbon Fund (CDCF) to design carbon finance instruments that will reduce real and perceived risks of renewable energy and energy efficiency projects by developing country financial institutions. Additionally, GVEP is in the early stages of developing an energy-poverty risk mitigation facility that to stimulate local investment in energy-poverty projects seeks Harnessing and Sharing Knowledge 2.17 GVEP aims to identify and analyze key energy problems, identify solutions, document and share lessons from the field, and disseminate information at the national, regional, and global levels. In close collaboration with SANet, the Development Gateway, and a number of GVEP partners, the Technical Secretariat took significant steps in the last year to develop a wide range of products and mechanisms designed to capture and disseminate knowledge and lessons learned. Knowledge Management at a Glance Number of project profiles on 30 gvep.org Number of subscribers to 3,000 newsletter Number of visitors to gvep.org 25,000/month Number of publications and 300 working papers GVEP's Activities 19 2.18 The partnership Web site, www.gvep.org, serves as the electronic interface for GVEP and is critical in GVEP's knowledge management and communication efforts. The site provides up-to-date information on GVEP activities, an online partner directory, and a current events calendar. 2.19 Using the site, GVEP partners' best practices, lessons learned, and project experiences are disseminated through an online library of project profiles. GVEP partners can upload and edit their own project profiles, post future events, and submit other energy- related documents on the site. 2.20 GVEP is also using the site to provide a forum for online discussions. In 2003, 53 people participated in a facilitated discussion focused on scaling up energy services to rural areas in South Asia. 2.21 A free on-line biweekly newsletter, written and disseminated together with NREL, offers stakeholders the latest news about GVEP activities and results on the ground. The Secretariat is currently exploring translating this product into English, French, and Spanish as well as disseminating a paper-based version. 2.22 A new revision of the www.gvep.org will be released in 2004 that will reflect the goal of making the site a global energy portal. Additionally, foreign language versions of the site will also be launched. The Secretariat is also exploring the development of a new series of knowledge products delivered via CD-ROM and radio in English, French, and Spanish. 20 Global Village Energy Partnership Annual Report 2003 South Asia Practitioner's Conference: Sharing Knowledge for Scaling Up Energy Services in South Asia The focus of the South Asia Practitioner's Workshop was on ways to scale-up and replicate off-grid and mini-grid service provision in the region. The workshop took place on June 2-4, 2003 in Colombo, Sri Lanka, bringing together 55 participants from 12 countries, with 85% of the participants coming from Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. Participants represented energy service companies, non- governmental organizations, finance institutions, donors, and government ministries. Organized by the GVEP Secretariat with support from ESMAP and Winrock International, the workshop's knowledge sharing component was considerable. Prior to the event, project profiles were collected from 28 participants identifying the lessons learned and experiences in creating their own project or programs in the region. An online discussion was also conducted in which 53 individuals contributed their ideas and experiences on the scale up of energy services to serve as input for the workshop. At the workshop, participants met in plenary and break-out sessions to hear presentations and discuss issues including­­ensuring consumer satisfaction through standards and services; the role of national, bilateral and multilateral policies on scaling up energy services; access to financing for village energy businesses and consumers; the role of energy for improvements in economic situation and quality of life of households and enterprises; and the influence of subsidy/fiscal measures on rural energy. The project profiles and proceedings of the workshop can be accessed at www.gvep.org. It was agreed that the workshop was successful in that it generated an understanding of the role of rural energy services in economic development and quality of life improvements, increased awareness of the challenges and approaches to deepening and expanding the market, and offered concrete examples of and recommendations for how practitioners have tackled these challenges. Results Monitoring and Evaluation 2.23 GVEP can make an important contribution in monitoring and measuring the impact of partner organizations in delivering energy services to those unserved and in contributing to the MDGs. 2.24 To this end, a group of GVEP partners is currently creating a monitoring and evaluation framework to measure the impact of energy activities on poverty reduction. The group includes members of Electricité de France (EDF) and the European Union Energy Initiative (EUEI) for Poverty Eradication and Sustainable Development and is working closely with a related World Bank working group. They are exploring the impact of electricity on education and health, as well as the impact of electricity on relieving the burden of household chores for women and other socioeconomic factors. 3 Financial Review 3.1 During its first 12 months, GVEP spent approximately $6.3 million, slightly over 50% of it total funding. This spending reflects that, as a brand new entity, activity levels have developed from a zero base. 3.2 GVEP's operating resources are derived from financial donations from a range of bilateral and multilateral donors, the most significant of which are shown in the chart below.

Global Village Energy Partnership (GVEP) Annual Report 2003 12/04 295/04 Last report added to this list: ESMAP Formal Report 295/04 11 JOINT UNDP / WORLD BANK ENERGY SECTOR MANAGEMENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAMME (ESMAP) PURPOSE The Joint UNDP/World Bank Energy Sector Management Assistance Programme (ESMAP) is a special global technical assistance partnership sponsored by the UNDP, the World Bank and bi-lateral official donors. Established with the support of UNDP and bilateral official donors in 1983, ESMAP is managed by the World Bank. ESMAP's mission is to promote the role of energy in poverty reduction and economic growth in an environmentally responsible manner. Its work applies to low-income, emerging, and transition economies and contributes to the achievement of internationally agreed development goals. ESMAP interventions are knowledge products including free technical assistance, specific studies, advisory services, pilot projects, knowledge generation and dissemination, trainings, workshops and seminars, conferences and roundtables, and publications. ESMAP work is focused on three priority areas: access to modern energy for the poorest, the development of sustainable energy markets, and the promotion of environmentally sustainable energy practices. GOVERNANCE AND OPERATIONS ESMAP is governed by a Consultative Group (the ESMAP CG) composed of representatives of the UNDP and World Bank, other donors, and development experts from regions which benefit from ESMAP's assistance. The ESMAP CG is chaired by a World Bank Vice President, and advised by a Technical Advisory Group (TAG) of independent energy experts that reviews the Programme's strategic agenda, its work plan, and its achievements. ESMAP relies on a cadre of engineers, energy planners, and economists from the World Bank, and from the energy and development community at large, to conduct its activities under the guidance of the Manager of ESMAP. FUNDING ESMAP is a knowledge partnership supported by the World Bank, the UNDP and official donors from Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. ESMAP has also enjoyed the support of private donors as well as in-kind support from a number of partners in the energy and development community.
