Publishing on an annual basis the Poor People's Energy Outlook report to to act as a catalyst for a movement for change on energy access and a source of information to support it.
Working with ESMAP (World Bank), UNIDO, GiZ and others to establish global minimum standards that define energy access.
Working with civil society and with the United Nations Foundation to raise European public awareness of and European political support for the goal of universal energy access.
Making information on technology and best practice freely available to anyone working on energy access via our technical enquiry service Practical Answers and our Latin America regional training centre for renewal energy CEDECAP (at least 200,000 downloads of information by practioners every year).
Expanding our own energy access project work on the ground across 11 countries in Sub Saharan Africa, South Asia and Latin America and supporting new forms of cross sectoral partnership for energy access, including joint work on indoor air pollution with Bosch and Siemens Household Appliances, and work with IBM to establish the new CSO Energy Aid.
