Summary: | The joint United Nations Development
Program (UNDP) and World Bank Energy Sector Management
Assistance Program (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. ESMAPs 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
modem energy for the poorest, the development of sustainable
energy markets, and the promotion of environmentally
sustainable energy practices. ESMAP has supported a number
of energy trade programs, but so far feedback from these
projects and evaluations of the knowledge gained has been
limited. It was therefore decided to undertake a review
ESMAPs portfolio of projects related to the international
trade of energy. This review was to include not only those
projects that have been completed, but also those that
currently are under way, and those that are in the immediate
pipeline. The review was guided by the technical advisory
group to the energy trust funded programs located at the
World Bank. |
