Senior Experts in Energy access/access to modern energy services in rural and peri-urban zones
ACP Countries
Mid- Term Evaluation of the 1st Call for Proposal of the Energy Facility under the 9th EDF
The EU Energy Initiative and the Energy Facility
In August 2002, at the World Summit Sustainable Development, the European Union launched the EU Energy Initiative for Poverty Eradication and Sustainable Energy (EUEI), to contribute to the achievement of the MDGs, in particular the goal of halving the number of people in extreme poverty by 2015. This is to be achieved through the provision of adequate, affordable and sustainable energy services to the poor.
As a response to these objectives in the ACP region, the European Commission, in October 2004, presented a Communication[1] on the development of the EUEI and the modalities for the establishment of an Energy Facility for ACP countries. On 25 June 2005 the ACP-EU Council formally approved the creation of an €220 million ACP-EC Energy Facility.
