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 consumptive social
• Multi-stakeholder private, public, NGO
• Multi-sector energy, ag, water, health,
  education, SMEs, etc
• Market principles

• GVEP Lessons Learned to Date

26
Lessons Learned to Date Country Activities

• Linking energy to cross sector applications not
  being done well
• 17 of 30 countries participating in regional
  workshops incorporated lessons learned right away
• National level activities generally require GVEP
  support
• Pilots are important demonstrate new models,
  results
• Activities should link to follow on
  funding/investment
• No one size fits all
• We are making a difference Governments, NGOs,
  private firms, donors are changing the way they
  are thinking and delivering energy services
• Links to policy and regulatory reforms key to
  scale up
• Programs take time to develop yet people want
  results quickly

27
Lessons Learned to Date Financing and Capacity
Development

• There is a need for financing support across the
  spectrum
• Pre-feasibility, feasibility, investment,
  insurance must be linked
• Global funding mechanisms for RE services not
  effective
• Local liquidities are key (local currencies,
  management, operation)
• Call for risk sharing and risk mitigation
  instruments
• Carbon finance can play a role
• Microfinance institutions are effective credit
  delivery mechanisms in rural areas (e.g., women)
• Not focused on energy to date
• Recognition that energy offers a new, profitable
  product line
• Energy products must be demand driven link to
  income generation
• Cases exist where MFIs support energy
• Markets need to grow on their own strengths not
  on subsidies
• However smart subsidies may be
  necessary/appropriate

28
GVEP Some Lessons Learned To Date (Contd)

• Knowledge Management
• Knowledge Gap exists for all players
• Outreach needed to reach non-web
  partners/institutions
• Monitoring and Evaluation
• ME is often overlooked and under-funded
• Substantial ME experience exists across
  partners, yet not shared, not coordinated, not
  standardized
• Cross Cutting Public-Private Partnerships are
  key
• Governments/IFIs Create enabling environment via
  policies/regs, credit access (not delivery)
• Bilateral Donors Support for technical
  assistance, Training, Capacity Building,
  Knowledge Sharing
• MDBs Financing and risk sharing
• Private Sector Marketing, sales, after service
  sales, quality control, financing/credit
• Financial Institutions Investment
• Consumers Provide demand and pay the bills

29
