4. Status of Reporting April 27, 2006.

• Response Rate
• Continued effort in reminding is successful
• Sent first contact in early March. By 27 April
  2006, Partners for 83 Actions had responded,
  bringing the response rate to 42 percent.
• Should guarantee that by June 2006, two years
  after the Bonn conference, significantly more
  than half of the Actions will be reported on.
• Will consider further steps to increase
  effectiveness of this process

4. Status of Reporting April 27, 2006.

• Structure of response
• Most regions of origin (of the leading Partner)
  and target (where the Action is implemented) are
  represented in the current sample, except North
  America, from where reports have been announced
• All categories of actor types, i.e. governments
  (including regional and local governments),
  international organisations (including
  international financial institutions),
  non-governmental organisations, research bodies,
  and the private sector have shown strong
  participation in this reporting initiative.
• Responses are also relatively evenly distributed
  among the different types of Actions.
• All categories have been covered, though
  unevenly. The sample of responses received can
  be considered fairly representative for all of
  the Actions put forward in the IAP.

5. Status of Implementation According to Reports
Example Pakistan Alternative Energy Development
Board Goal Target of 10 RE electricity by 2015,
via implementing policies, fiscal incentives,
public awareness, strengthening institutions
Rural electrification target 50,000 villages
electrified Results so far - Legislation
enacted - 104 MW going on line in the next six
months interim target of 800 MW (5) by
2010 - 8,000 rural people with modern energy
services via installation of 182KW micro RE Key
Lessons 1) Governments must lead the way in
order to attract private capital 2) Off-grid
rural RE needs proper training and awareness to
achieve acceptance and proper implementation
