Report: Intelligent Energy - Europe (IEE) - COOPENER Projects (Community cooperation with developing countries)

View project details

In October 2005, the European Commission IEEA (Intelligent Energy - Europe Agency) launched its database of IEE projects, covering SAVE, ALTENER, STEER, COOPENER and Horizontal Key Actions. In addition, descriptions of all projects dealing specifically with sustainable energy in buildings (start date of contracts January 2005) have been compiled in a single document.

The COOPENER projects focus on capacity building and training in developing countries. The underlying aim is to strengthen local policies and legislation and to encourage sustainable energy services for poverty alleviation and sustainable development. Links are drawn to the EU energy initiative for poverty alleviation and sustainable development in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Pacific.

The projects include:

• APPLES Alleviation of Poverty through the Provision of Local Energy Services
• BEPITA Biomass Energy Platforms Implementation for Training in Africa
• DEA Development and Energy in Africa
• ENABLE Building capacity in renewables in the health, education and water sectors to help meet poverty reduction targets in sub-Saharan Africa
