Energy Assessments and Strategy Programs (EASP)
The global financial crisis, highly volatile energy prices, and climate variability have been creating a significantly more turbulent environment for energy sector management worldwide. Developing countries are particularly exposed, but their governments have little room to maneuver because of limited institutional capacities and fiscal resources.
In response, ESMAP has launched various strategies and initiatives to identify existing and emerging vulnerabilities for policymakers and energy practitioners in developing countries and in emerging economies:
-
Country Energy Sector Vulnerability Assessments: These assessments focus on the impacts of the financial and credit crisis, volatile oil prices and climate change on the energy sector of developing and transition economies.
-
Regional Energy Integration Strategies: ESMAP has compiled data on a broad range of issues by conducting regional energy assessments for client countries that have found it more beneficial to supplement their individual national energy strategies with a regional one.
-
Low Carbon Development Studies: ESMAP is supporting developing countries to explore opportunities for low carbon development.
