Compendium of international energy policies and strategies

Oct 2006

The purpose of compiling this compendium by the African Energy Policy Research Network and and Foundation for Woodstove Dissemination (AFREPREN/FWD) and the Environmental Development Action in the Third World (ENDA) is to assist in the review of existing international energy policies and strategies so to assess the current status of the African energy sector to identify key trends, major drivers as well as current developments. The compendium comprises a compilation of regional energy policies, strategies and projects to identify regional agencies with energy sector interests that dovetail with those of ADB. Where international energy policies, strategies and projects were unavailable, alternate documents were acquired to source the required information. The review of existing international energy policies and strategies aims to identify common threads as well as unique characteristics to be highlighted in the planned position which includes a review of past, current and planned energy investments of selected regional bodies. The world-wide assessment forms a valuable input for the principal out put of Phase 1 of the assignment, namely the position paper.
For each international body covered, the information is summarized in the following fashion:
i) General Information
This gives general information relating to the energy policy or strategy document. It states the mission, vision and objectives of the policy/strategy paper in the cases where it has been provided.
ii) Brief on the energy priority areas of the institution or processes
iii) Potential areas of Collaboration
This highlights the potential areas in which the two institutions (i.e. ADB and the respective institution) could collaborate in future.
iii) Executive Summary of Energy Policy Document
This table provides the executive summary where it has been provided.
