Mongolia
Mongolia was one of six countries to participate in the Asia Regional Workshop held in Phnom Penh on May 2005. Prior to the workshop, in-country consultants, were identified to act as GVEP Focal Points, to assist delegations to prepare a report on the structure of demand for energy at household, enterprise and sector levels in villages and peri-urban areas. Delegations also prepared project concepts which were discussed at the workshop.
The regional workshop brought together energy stakeholders from all key sectors to deepen awareness of energy-poverty issues and energy-related investment opportunities, as well as lay the groundwork for cooperation and further projects. In following a workshop design already successfully used in Africa and Latin America, working groups identified sectors where energy is a key input, and possible inter-sectoral synergies. They reviewed Investment Opportunity proposals from each participating country and initiated discussion between national delegations and the financing community.
Mongolia has yet to follow up on the workshop but the government recognises energy efficiency as key to sustainable development in the country.
