WORLD ENERGY OUTLOOK
Continuing business as usual will aggravate climate impacts
Consumption will grow as population increases to help those in energy poverty.
Growing reliance on foreign supply of energy presents a threat to economic stability
There are effective competitive energy sources to oil and gas supplies that do not emit CO2 3
ENERGY CHALLENGES Energy is almost as critical as food and water for
survival in modern society
Energy is fundamental to health, education, agriculture, commerce and socio-economic development.
Energy generation, transmission and use is at a crucial point
Thus the need for sustainable energy. 4
SUSTAINABLE ENERGY Energy solutions that simultaneously address socioeconomic developments related to growth, environment and social equity

RENEWABLE ENERGIES(RE)
The demand for alternative energy sources is increasing each year due to need for clean sources of energy
Renewable energy systems are ideal for outdoor and/or remote area applications
Renewable energy systems are growing in popularity due to the reliability of stand alone solar or wind power sources.

REASONS FOR SE
Sustainable Energy
Solar and wind should be recognized critically for they can be used immediately
It can provide direct investment and support business development to Small and Medium size Enterprises
Sustainable energy is a major factor in realizing economic independence for developing countries

UNSE4ALL 2014‑2024 Decade of Sustainable Energy for All as declared by the UN General Assembly.
1. Ensure universal access to modern energy services.2. Double the global rate of improvement in energy efficiency.3. Double the share of renewable energy in the global energy budget.
12
UNSE4ALL Affordable renewable energy technologies bring
modern energy services to rural communities where extension of the grid is expensive and impractical
Energy efficiency can save cost, while freeing up power for other more productive uses.
The objectives together will maximize development benefits and help stabilize climate change over the long run.

• Increasing demand for energy:– Population growth– Rising incomes– Urbanization rates
• The energy crisis:– Most households live in energy poverty– Profit loses as a result of power cuts– Load shedding costs a lot to national GDP– The Bottom Of the Pyramid (BOP) spend a lot of money on
buying Kerosene and candles– Cold storage in hospitals and shops face a lot of challenges

THE GAMBIA SE4ALL PROCESS
• The Gambia joined SE4ALL Initiative in June 2012
• Through NEPAD, the Gambia received funding from the EU BizClim Facility for the development of AA and IP
• Other partners include UNDP and ECREEE
• PARTICIP was contracted by BizClim to help develop the documents
• The preparation of the AA & IP was done through a consultative process
18
ACTION AGENDAThe AA is divided in to 3 parts:
Vision: Ensure an overall sector-wide coherence and synergy of accumulated efforts towards the three
goals of SE4All Targets: Energy Access (EA), Renewable Energy (RE) & Energy
Efficiency(EE) programs
- Priority Action Areas: Improved cooking systems, Mechanical power, Electricity
- Coordination and follow ups
19
• Provides the approach to operationalizing the AA
• Establishes country priority projects
• IP includes 18 projects at various stages of development• 7 projects classified under Access to Energy• 6 projects classified under Renewable Energy• 5 projects classified under Energy Efficiency
• Targeted investors are both private and public
• Identified projects/proposals need to be developed into bankable documents.

SE OPPORTUNITIES
28
Change from imported oil and carbon dioxide emission will facilitate sustainable development
Transform energy systems for poverty alleviation by meeting the needs of the BOP
Pursuit of distributed solar PV and wind where appropriate can reduce reliance on fossil fuels
Reliance on hydroelectricity for major fraction of growing energy demand will provide sustainability
Solar and wind energy hybrid system will be suitable especially with battery storage for backup

EFFICIENCY & ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY
Sustainable Energy improves the quality of peoples life through cleaner lighting and cooking methods
SE protects the environment and health by replacing polluting fuels and use of wood
Regional Seminar On Enabling Policies for Financing Energy Efficiency Investments 24th-26th June 2014 at Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. 32
Improved cook stoves will
1. Reduce charcoal consumption
2. Sustainable by using locally available materials and
3. Generates income through the provision of jobs for the manufacturers
EE TARGETS
•Replacement of Incandescent bulbs in households.
•Replacement of Inefficient Streetlight with efficient Streetlight bulbs.
•Improved cooking stoves
•Sensitization on Energy Efficiency.
•Reduce the technical losses to 10%
WAY FORWARD
Sustainable energy systems can meet energy needs of businesses and households,
Promote efficient and effective management of sustainable energy production and use.
Provide sustainable energy enterprises development services
Wind/solar powered technology is appropriate for irrigation projects to positively impact on poverty reduction
34
REGULATION
35
[A]. Promote the utilisation of renewable forms of energy such as solar, wind and bio-mass;
[B]. Promote the use and develop, to the extent possible, a domestic production capacity for renewable energy fuels and technologies
[C]. Ensure the sustainable supply of renewable energy fuels/device/technologies at competitive prices through private sector participation.
REGULATION Explore sources of sustainable energy
Initiate policy actions that reduce emissions
Improve efficiency
Need to strengthen capacity for different stakeholders on the issues of development- poverty-energy linkages
Sectors should integrated sustainable energy into planning and implementation
