Second Advisory Group [AG] Meeting
This electronic meeting was held from 5-12 July 2006. Key topics discussed were ENERGIA's mission and objectives to accurately reflect the network's work; core ideas to guide ENERGIA Phase 4 and possible linkages with funding opportunities; and the draft operational guidelines prepared by the International Secretariat.
ENERGIA Operational Guidelines
To improve transparency and enhance communication and support to our partners, ENERGIA is drafting Operational Guidelines, receiving inputs from the AG and National Focal Points [NFPs]. The final draft will be presented at the Regional NFPs Meetings to be held in Africa and Asia in the last quarter of the year, allowing the network to have its Operational Guidelines in place for 2007.
Extension of the External Evaluation
Due to unforeseen circumstances it was necessary to extend the period for conducting the External Evaluation of ENERGIA Phase 3. The Evaluation Report will be presented to ENERGIA's core donors early September 2006.
