First two phases of the Energy Access theme completed successfully

The Network's first theme focused on policy research on the Energy Access issue. The theme was completed in May/June 2004. The objective of this theme was to prepare a systematic and empirically based study of the impact of power sector reforms on the poor in different developing countries. The study is based on a common and comparable set of impact indicators. Outcomes from the theme activity on Energy Access are available under the Publications section or available on the free Energy Access CD-ROM containing the full output of the Energy Access Working Group. Available from the Secretariat.

The second phase of the Energy Access theme focused on the dissemination of the results and was completed in December 2004. One of the main outcomes of this phase is the special issue of the International Energy Initiative's ESD Journal shown above. The publication is available under the Publications section as PDF.

In December 2004 the Energy Access Working Group embarked on the Policy Implementation phase coined at preparing detailed case studies demonstrating the effectiveness of the policy option/recommendations identified as part of the Energy Access policy research phase.
