.: Energy Efficiency Consultation in Middle East and North Africa Region
Tunis, November 25-26, 2008
Presentation:
With funding from ESMAP, the World Bank began in 2008 a study on the theme of: "Tapping a Hidden Resource: Energy Efficiency in the Middle East and North Africa."
The World Bank wishes to conduct a consultation with officials and other stakeholders from the region. This consultation was organized in Tunis (Tunisia), on November, 25-26, 2008.
The consultation workshop held in Tunis (in three languages: Arabic, English and French) focused on the three following themes:
~ The contribution of energy efficiency to growth and sustainable development;
~ Policies and strategies for energy efficiency, through: (i) pricing and social protection; (ii) institutions for energy efficiency; (iii) financing mechanisms; and,
~ Learning from success and implementation challenges.
Objectives:
The aim of the workshop was to permit :
~ An exchange of experiences on energy efficiency between MENA countries ;
~ MENA countries' feedback on the findings of the study, before it is finalized; and,
~ An exchange of views on the priorities for action on energy efficiency, and any potential role to be played by donors, including the World Bank.
The workshop mobilized around forty national and local decision-makers, stakeholders and experts/researchers in charge of economic, financial, planning and energy issues in the countries of the Middle East and North Africa, in the presence of representatives of donor agencies or international institutions working on the theme of energy efficiency.
