17 January 2012

Value Chains

This assessment is the first part of a two-part regional value chain analysis. It focuses on identifying the key agriculturally-based value chains and assessing these value chains in terms of growth-potential and capability to benefit as many smallholders, small enterprises and the poor as possible. The value chains are also assessed according to whether or not they are capable of being scaled-up or replicated in other countries, given similarity within the respective agricultural economies.

Role of Regulators in Promoting Clean Energy

31 December 2011

Energy Sector

This manual addresses the market potential and development strategies for renewable energy technologies (RETs) in the SADC region. It is primarily aimed at commissioners and board members of the regional energy regulatory agencies. Such agencies across the SADC region constitute an important component of their national policy and institutional frameworks for promoting sustainable and environmentally safe energy supply. Energy regulators play a key role in national and regional efforts to promote clean energy for sustainable development. Their work is crucial for ensuring a transparent and predictable energy regulatory framework that is essential for attracting private sector investment while safeguarding consumer interests.
