Description

Summary

Mr. Pigaht outlined the 18-month Partners for Africa project (see Appendix D). This project is co-financed by the European Commission through the International Cooperation (INCO) sub-programme of the 6th Framework Programme. Partners for Africa started with the first project meeting in Vienna, Austria in parallel to the Global Forum on Sustainable Energy, on 20th February 2004. Its primary objective is to demonstrate the role of renewable energy in poverty eradication and to offer support to policy-making activities in three areas i.e.: sustainable resource management, health and public health, and enterprise development. The PfA project supports and stimulates the activities of the European Energy Initiative for Poverty Eradication and Sustainable Development. These goals are being achieved by mobilising international and local partnerships to create an innovative forum for developing new programmes, project platforms, and in particular, support policy making. In enhancing 'North-South' cooperation, the project is carried out by 5 Partners from Europe (WIP - Germany, ETA - Italy, ITDG - UK, Eco Ltd - UK and SEI - Sweden) and 3 Partners from Africa (Illovo Sugar Ltd - South Africa, ENDA - Senegal and CEEEZ - Zambia).
