new plans for 2006-9

The GVEP Approach

• Technology neutral (clean sources to the
  extent possible)
• Multi-application electricity, heating, cooking,
  lighting, cooling, transport, etc. (i.e. not just
  power)
• Multi-use Emphasis on productive
  use livelihoods also education, health
  social
• Multi-stakeholder private, public, NGO
• Multi-sector energy, agric, water,
  health, education, SMEs, etc
• Market principles

• Its diversity creates for GVEP the opportunity to
  occupy a strong advocacy position in the
  development community able to ensure small voices
  are heard and that small talk can become big
  talk.

  of key sectors identified in national poverty
  reduction strategies and
• Carrying out the necessary studies and project
