• Development of New Energy Policy by Sida - Consultation with partners
  Wendy Annecke and Joy Clancy represented ENERGIA at Sida's consultative workshop to develop a new energy policy for the next five years. Three themes were addressed - energy and poverty, energy and environment, and reform - with background papers circulated ahead as discussion starters. Among an audience of energy experts and funders, whose interests lie mainly in large-scale infrastructure and the commercial uses of energy, ENERGIA was able to bring in gender and domestic energy issues to the fore. ENERGIA will comment on the draft report to be circulated in January 2005.
