Overview : UNDP Tanzania is supporting the Ministry of Energy in implementing Tanzania’s 1st Energy Efficiency Action Plan, with the support from European Union (EU). The overall objective of the Action Plan is to ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern energy for all in Tanzania. The project is also intended to support the implementation of the National Energy Policy and strategic goals set by the Tanzania National Development Vision 2025, in terms of ensuring that Energy Efficiency is playing a key role in contributing to the economic and social development of the country. The implementation of the Energy Efficiency Action Plan is designed to contribute to achieving Energy Efficiency in households, industry and public utilities, and buildings through the implementation of the seven key Energy Efficiency actions. The Project is expected to help the country in strengthening Legal, Regulatory, Institutional framework, and administrative actions to support implementation and introduction of Energy Efficiency actions; help large energy consumers and general users to identify and implement quantifiable investments in Energy Efficiency; help in capacity and skills development, jobs creation and increase employability in the Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy services and technology sector particularly for women and youth; and increase public awareness, access to information, stakeholder dialogue and visibility of financial, economic, and societal benefits of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy. |
