The GNESD Steering Committee decided in
late 2002 on a number of success criteria for the Network’s operation
after one year. These included:
 | The GNESD network is operational and with a broad
membership, |
| The website established with comprehensive
information complementing and building on other partnerships, other
means of communication, and info sharing, |
| Priority theme on “energy access” with focus on
policy aspects and national and regional differences/similarities
and experience sharing opportunities, |
| Impacts should be visible on e.g. developed
relations and cooperation with other key partnerships and relevant
international programmes, |
| Network is able to provide relevant overviews on
regional basis of policy relevant options for addressing specific
aspects of energy access, |
| Identification of proven policy measures for
improving access and analysing their replication potential.
|
During the first half of 2004 the objectives listed
above were reached.
The Work Programme for GNESD activities 2005 - 2007 was approved at
the second Network Assembly 15 December 2004 in The Netherlands and
focuses on increasing the impacts of the Network. This will be pursued
in three ways:
| Collaborating with other WSSD Energy initiatives
(GVEP, EUEI & REEEP) and Energy Programmes of international
organisations (UNEP, UNDP, World Bank and others) |
| Improving the ways of transmitting the findings
of the analytical work both through increased support for regional
networking by the members and through targeted dissemination of
findings and stakeholder consultations |
| Engaging in direct capacity building, training
and institutional support activities as part of the new more
flexible approach to Network activities |
The GNESD Steering Committee has furthermore decided
that activities in the coming years should be developed with the aim
of maintaining the current strengths of the Network while at the same
time allow flexibility in implementing projects, either as a single
GNESD Centre, or a partnership of several Centres.
