Monitoring of the ACP-EU Energy Facility

The ACP-EU Energy Facility was established in 2005 to co-finance projects on increasing access to modern and sustainable energy services for the poor in African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) countries. With the first Energy Facility (EFI), 74 projects were contracted for a total amount of €196 M, with total project cost of €430M. A second Energy Facility (EFII), with a total budget of €200 million, has been established for the period 2009-2013. A €100 million call for proposals, launched in November 2009, resulted in the selection of 65 projects for funding.

The Monitoring of the ACP-EU Energy Facility has two main purposes:

1. To provide information, advice and support to the EC's Delegations in charge of the management of the Energy Facility's contracts. Project implementing bodies can benefit from this assistance
2. To facilitate rapid and effective reporting from the Task Managers of the Energy Facility to the hierarchy and to the external partners of the EC.

The present website emphasises the dissemination of project results. It will allow to:

• Contribute to the quality in implementation through the dissemination of results, successful stories and lessons learned from the Energy Facility's projects
• Foster contacts and exchanges of experience between projects

The ACP-EU EF Projects Database provides more information about the Energy Facility projects.
