PROJECT DESCRIPTION (DE)
Initial situation
Uganda is rich in biomass, hydropower, solar energy, geothermal energy and wind energy. However, because these resources are not used efficiently, much of this potential remains untapped. As a result, many people, particularly in the north of the country, have no access to electricity and clean energy for cooking. This impairs economic development because the existing energy resources are not used for production purposes and prevents faster progress in employment in rural and peri-urban areas. In addition, many social institutions do not have a reliable energy supply, meaning they cannot offer local people high-quality health care and education services.
Objective The program supports the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Development (MEMD) in implementing strategies to improve access to renewable energies and energy-efficient technologies.
Approach
The Program for the Promotion of Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (PREEEP) achieves its objectives through:
• Energy policy advice: Advice on policies and strategies to integrate renewable energies in various sectors and support in implementing the measures.
• Energy mainstreaming: Supporting 22 district administrations in embedding energy policy considerations in all departments, work plans and budgets; promoting participatory planning processes with civil society.
• Market development: Promoting access to and acceptance of renewable energies and energy-efficient technologies in households, social institutions and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
• Vocational
