The primary objective of the study under the broader theme on “Energy
Access” will be to carry out an initial assessment of the energy
situation and identify viable and proven policy options that can
assist in providing cleaner and more sustainable energy services to
the poor the rapidly growing urban and peri-urban population in and
around the mega-cities around the world in the context of a rapidly
reforming energy sector. This will include assessing if previous
energy policy reforms have addressed these challenges or have they
actually contributed to the growing problem of inadequate energy
services, through neglect, for the poor living in the urban and the
peri-urban areas in the developing world.
Building on this assessment, focus will be on ongoing and planned
energy policy reforms and address the questions of how likely they are
to lead to improved, cleaner and more sustainable energy services for
the poor in these areas in the developing countries and how the
processes can be improved to promote better access to cleaner energy
services from the poverty alleviation, environmental and productive
use of energy point of view.
