As a follow-up to the 2002 Asia-Pacific Regional Energy and Environment Focal Point meeting in Kuala Lumpur, an Energy Working Group was initiated, with voluntary membership from CO energy focal points, to share experiences and lesson learned. This publication highlights case studies of selected energy projects, offering key lessons for replication and strategic fine-tuning for the development and formulation of energy programmes/projects. Key lessons about participatory approaches, technology choices and policy options are summarised creatively. The role of energy in poverty reduction is a consistent theme through the Report.
