| Mr. Anders Arvidson, SIDA, Sweden | | Download (click on the image) |  | | Category | Renewable Energy | | Description | Summary This presentation was made with reference to a consultative meeting, which took place recently in Sweden, which was deemed a transparent process of policy review. In order to be inclusive, the stakeholders were drawn from developed as well as developing countries, and international organisations such as the World Bank and UNDP.
The objectives of the energy policy would be two-fold: - to help create conditions that enable poor people to improve their lives
- all work explicitly motivated as relevant for reducing poverty.
Arising from the meeting, SIDA would take the path that takes into account the following: - Energy and Poverty reduction
- Energy and Environment
- Energy and the enabling environment for energy sector development
The presenter emphasised that the SIDA policy would thus include more on renewable energy as a means of poverty alleviation. As such the project activities of the PFA, and the objectives of the workshop, were in line with the SIDA policy.
Proceedings This presentation is part of the proceedings from the Partners for Africa meeting held in Lusaka in December 2004. See the library item here.
