  1. ACCELERATING ENERGY ACCESS FOR ALL IN MYANMAR United Nations Development Programme MYANMAR May 2013

  2. UNDP Assessment of the Energy Sector in MyanmarDespite having rich energy resources, it’s the most energy poor country in Asia in terms energy access.

  3. Access to Modern Energy Services Source: International Energy Agency, Energy for All: Financing Access for the Poor (Paris: OECD/IEA, October, 2011).

  5. Solutions to Energy Access

  6. Capacity Development • Capacity development programmes should be aimed at both local government institutions and households. • Their focus should also be energy users such as households, village leaders, civil society and local entrepreneurs. • Not only disseminating information to consumers but receiving feedback about what they want—through feasibility studies, surveys, and an appreciation for the particular energy services they desire.

  7. Community Mobilization funds and productive energy • Couple energy access programmes with community development funds (CDFs). • CDFs create revenue to promote women’s empowerment, skills enhancement, better management of technology, and income generation. • Example: Nepal’s CDF attached to microhydrodiffusion, which offered $400,000 in total for the promotion of non-lighting uses of electricity like agro-processing, poultry farming, carpentry workshops, ice making, water supply, etc.
