WP1: Project Management: To
accomplish efficient management and implementation of the project in a
timely and efficient manner, including liaison with Advisory Committee as
required.
WP2: a Literature Review, aimed at establishing an overview
of available methods for analysing development, poverty and energy
linkages and of results in this area.
WP3: Compilation of a
Catalogue of Energy Interventions in
the target countries, including as far as possible economic, social,
environmental impacts, noting inter-sectoral linkages.
WP4: Consultation with national policy makers and
stakeholders regarding the relationships between energy innovations and
sustainable development, aimed at achieving consensus on the needs for the
Assessment Framework and on how it can contribute to the energy and
development process. Although the main objective is to obtain information
for input to WP5, the consultation process will continue throughout the
project to keep policy makers and stakeholders informed and to ensure that
the project is in line with national needs. Includes a set of National
Workshops early in the project period to involve stakeholders in the
process. This involvement is backed up by informal contacts and
consultation, primarily by the African Centres.
WP5: Development of a
Preliminary Assessment Framework (PAF)
for assessing development and poverty impacts of energy interventions,
including developing indicators for assessing energy-poverty/development
links
WP6: Conduct
Case Studies to test the PAF. Results will be
discussed in National Workshops #2 and stakeholder views incorporated.
WP7: Analyse Case Studies and Refine Methodology to a final
Assessment Framework (AF).
WP8: Dissemination: Communicate project results to national
policy makers and stakeholders and discuss how the Assessment Framework
can contribute to policy and strategy formation, both in the target
countries, elsewhere in the region and at regional level. Includes a set
of National Workshops #3 (to communicate the Assessment Framework to the
national target group) and a
Regional (African) Workshop towards the end
of the project. In the latter event all country teams and selected key
stakeholders will meet to discuss the outcome of the project, with the
possibility of other regional and international participants as the budget
and circumstances allow.
WP9: Common Dissemination Activities: to provide resource
and budget provisions for common dissemination activities in the framework
of the EIE programme.
