Workshop on ‘Urban Peri-Urban Energy Access and
Development in Asia’, Bangkok, Thailand
A workshop on ‘Urban Peri-Urban Energy Access and Development in Asia’ was
organized by the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT) on 4 October 2011 for
the thematic study ‘Urban Peri-Urban Energy Access (UPEA) Phase III’ in
Bangkok, Thailand. Sponsored by GNESD, it was a consultative meeting with
stakeholders from different organizations. Prof. S. Kumar of AIT started the
workshop with an introduction about GNESD to the participants who
represented ministries, LPG supply agencies, energy efficiency related
agencies, energy research institutions, low income housing agencies and
academic institutions. Organized in three sessions, it served as a platform
for participants to reflect on the issues of energy access to the urban poor
and the efforts undertaken by their organizations to improve energy access
for poor households in urban and peri-urban areas. The workshop also enabled
AIT to update the findings of UPEA I and II based on the discussion and
consultation.
