ESCAP was implementing a project that aimed to improve access to energy services for the rural poor and promote the application of renewable energy through Pro-Poor Public-Private Partnership (5P).
It also promoted social inclusiveness (including gender responsiveness) as one of the key requirements for developing PPPs. The project developed the capacity of decision and policy-makers, communities and private sectors, as well as NGOs from developing countries to enhance energy security and improve energy services in an integrated manner with locally available renewable energy resources.
