24-26 November 2004 - Paro, Kingdom of Bhutan

The GFSE regional workshop was held for member countries of the International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD). It's objective was to increase awareness on rural energy supply for sustainable development as part of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) among the countries of the Himalaya-Hindukush Region - Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, China (Tibet), India, Myanmar, Nepal, and Pakistan - and donor countries.
The workshop aimed to facilitate regional solutions and help Bhutan's efforts to achieve "electricity for all by 2020." Discussions evolved around such issues as:

• energy sector improvement and policy development
• capacity building and best practice sharing within the region
• encouragement of the implementation of the existing national and regional recommendations and plans for sustainable energy solutions
• improvement of stakeholder communication

The workshop also sought to explain and promote the concept of the EU-Energy Initiative (EUEI) for poverty eradication and sustainable development and to explore the need for specific projects and areas of financial co-operation. Aiming to take a regional rather than bilateral approach to problems and solutions, the workshop focused on:

• rural development and access to energy for remote mountain areas
• poverty reduction  and energy affordability
• electrification
• climate protection
• renewable energy
• lifestyle and consumer protection
• gender participation

The workshop was convened by Georg Lennkh, Director General of the Austrian Development Cooperation. It was co-hosted by the Department of Energy, Ministry of Trade and Industry of Bhutan, GFSE, the Austrian Coordination Bureau (ACB), Mountain Partnership and the EUEI.
