Rural Electrification through Renewable Energy (ELREN)

Rural Electrification through Renewable Energy (ELREN)

Objective

  • Knowledge about using renewable energy for off-grid electrification is institutionalised.

Description

ELREN is a joint project implemented by the Indonesian Directorate General of New Renewable Energy and Energy Conservation (EBTKE) – Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources and the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ).

The project’s objective is to institutionalise knowledge about using renewable energy for off-grid electrification in Indonesia. In working towards this objective, ELREN is active at different intervention levels.

It provides advisory support on capacity development for EBTKE on defining standards for the quality and scope of performance for off-grid electrification programmes as well as on monitoring and evaluation. This will allow EBTKE to take on a technical leadership role vis-à-vis other ministries and thus support coordination of the different measures taken by the Indonesian Government with regard to off-grid electrification through RE. The qualitative and the quantitative capacity of the private sector to construct and maintain RE systems for off-grid electrification will be increased at the same time.

Field of intervention

The activities focus on the following areas of intervention:

  • Preparation of quality standards for RE off-grid electrification systems in collaboration with relevant government and private actors in the energy sector
  • Analysis of existing systems with regards to technical, economic, social, gender, climate and environmental aspects. Building on this: development of a monitoring concept with pilot implementation.
  • Capacity building measures for strengthening EBTKE’s role in the planning, implementation and monitoring of rural electrification programmes.
  • Development of pre-conditions for the establishment of a functioning and environmentally-friendly service and maintenance structure for RE-based off-grid electrification systems.

Targeted beneficiaries

  • The main target group are villagers in rural communities who do not have access to basic energy services and are excluded from the socio-economic development of the country. Other targeted parties are decision makers of public and private organisations, companies, associations and institutions in applied research and training as participants and beneficiaries of trainings.

Inclusive Cities Partnership Programme (ICPP)
by TUEWAS|May 23, 2017

Inclusive Cities Partnership Programme (ICPP)

Objective

  • Support national ministries, states and cities in implementing measures for housing the urban poor in a socially inclusive and environment-friendly manner
  • Facilitation of the Housing for All Mission (Pradhan mantra Yojana – PMAY)
  • Enabeling synergies with other ongoing Indian urban development programmes in order to promote a more integrated planning and development of Indian cities

Description

Integrated, whole-city planning is vital for improving quality of life for all urban residents.

Urbanisation is accelerating everywhere in India: rapid population growth has turned villages into towns and towns into cities. The dividing line between rural and urban is no longer clear-cut. Administrative structures at local, state and national level struggle to manage such complexity and rapid change. Without a ‘joined-up’ approach, it is not always clear where responsibilities lie: who provides basic public services like water, sanitation and waste collection? Where, when and by whom is infrastructure built? Without planning, urbanisation has a devastating impact on the environment: wastewater pollutes surface and groundwater; fertile land becomes unproductive.

As the population expands to occupy more physical space, land becomes an increasingly precious commodity, land and house prices rise, and pressure increases on green areas and public spaces, both from developers and from the urban poor who, excluded from the housing market, make their homes on any available space. In 2012, over 18 million families in India were living in inadequate housing, mostly poor and in urban areas.

The Inclusive Cities Partnership Programme (ICPP) with the Ministry of Housing and Urban Poverty Alleviation and selected state governments promote an integrated and holistic view of city planning. First, all three levels of government – central, state and municipal – need to work together, and need to interact also with the private sector and civil society. Second, planning should consider the whole city perspective, dependencies of any intervention. Third, inclusive cities design policies and programmes that favour the poor and marginalised, for example increasing access to affordable housing. Finally, liveable cities are more than just houses and workplaces: parks and green spaces, clean air, culture, public spaces… all of these determine quality of life.

Field of intervention

  • Policy advice
  • Integrated urban planning
  • Capacity development
  • Knowledge products and dissemination

Targeted beneficiaries

  • Urban poor
  • Slum dwellers/ informal settlers
  • And more general: urban dwellers – as the city as a whole is targeted

Achievements

  • National ministries and state governments have been provided with guidelines that support the inclusion of the urban poor into their respective housing and rental housing policies.
  • State governments and urban local bodies use integrated approaches and instruments to plan and implement urban upgrading projects that aim at improving housing conditions for the urban poor.
  • Knowledge management on environment-friendly and social housing solutions of national ministries and state governments has improved.

 Consolidating transboundary water cooperation in the Lower Mekong Basin (giz.de)

Objectives

Cooperation between riparian countries of the Lower Mekong Basin with the support from the Mekong River Commission (MRC) has been strengthened

Description

GIZ supports the MRC to address the development challenges in the Mekong River Basin, especially on sustainable hydropower development and climate change adaptation. The programme strengthens the ongoing organizational development including the decentralization reform of the MRC in various areas as well as the financial management reform. GIZ works directly with experts and managers of the MRC Secretariat and, where applicable, also provides support to the National Mekong Committees in each member country. Through these approaches, the programme is contributing to strengthening cooperation between the riparian countries.

GIZ contributes to translating MRC’s gender policy and strategy into the implementation of its work at the strategic, organizational, and operational levels. Among others, GIZ supported MRC in conducting a gender analysis and developing a Gender Action Plan (GAP). GIZ also participated in the update of the Strategic Plan gender indicators, which allows the MRC to consistently and continuously mainstream gender into key activities and to systematically monitor its gender mainstreaming efforts.

Approach/Field of intervention

The project is based on a “push and pull” approach, advising MRC with the development of strategic instruments at the regional level and supporting Member Countries with the application of these instruments at the local level, through the implementation of joint initiatives. The project aims to achieve the following outputs:

  • Implementation of the MRC Strategic Plan
  • Piloting of joint environmental monitoring on mainstream dams
  • Coordination of flood and drought management between Cambodia and Thailand

Targeted beneficiaries

Population in the Lower Mekong Basin, approx. 65 million people, as well as specialist and executive personnel in the MRC Secretariat, the National Mekong Committees and member country line ministries with their provincial and local agencies as intermediaries.

Highlight activities /Achievements

With support from Germany, MRC has contributed to improving the knowledge base on water resources, developing a shared vision for the basin, making the MRC a more efficient organisation and improving the cooperation mechanisms between member countries. MRC is now on its way to becoming a world leading organisation in the field of transboundary water cooperation, receiving increasing political and financial support. More recently, MRC has achieved the following:

  • Undertaken an in-depth review of the Strategic Plan 2016-2020
  • Drafted a comprehensive guideline on the Joint Environmental Monitoring of Mainstream Hydropower Projects (JEM)
  • Finalized the design of two pilots to test the Joint Environmental Monitoring Programme and launched the implementation of the pilots in 2020

The MRC Joint Environment Monitoring Programme

Success stories

Joint Environment Monitoring Programme

The Joint Environment Monitoring Programme (JEM) for Mekong Mainstream Hydropower Projects was approved by Mekong River Commission Member Countries during the regional meeting of the Expert Group on Environmental Management in May 2019. The agreement also covered the two pilot project proposals for Don Sahong and Xayaburi hydropower projects to test the monitoring approaches for hydrology and hydraulics, sediment and geomorphology, water quality, aquatic ecology, and fish and fisheries. After securing GIZ funding and technical support, the inception phase started in November 2019 and in February 2020 the MRC held an Expert Group meeting attended by sectoral experts of all four MRC Countries. During the expert group, Dr. Wachiraporn Kumnerdpet, the director of the Environmental Assessment Sub-division of the Thai Office of the National Water Resources (ONWR) said that “JEM is the right way of fact-finding done by scientific data-collection which we really need to create the balance of future development on the Mekong mainstream”. The regional monitoring programme addresses the need to determine impacts, including transboundary impacts, of mainstream hydropower projects. It distinguishes between project-specific induced changes to the basin from the cumulative basin-wide impacts of all other developments. Assessment of the impact of a specific project is therefore vital to identify relevant adaptive management approaches to avoid, minimise, and mitigate negative impacts on different levels.

Dr. Wachiraporn Kumnerdpet, Director of Environmental Assessment Sub-division, Office of the National Water Resources, Thailand (February 2020).

Joint Project on Flood and Drought Management

The Joint Project on Flood and Drought Management in the Cambodia-Thai Border Area was initiated by governments of both countries in 2018. The project is covering the Tonle Sap 9C-9T sub-basin, out of which 27% is in Thailand and the remaining 73% in Cambodia. During the first phase from 2018 to 2019, an assessment of flood and drought risks in the subbasin was conducted. Also, elements of a Floods and Drought Master Plan were developed to address the risks. The assessment identified five priority areas, 18 potential mitigation, and adaptation project concepts, and several options for Cambodia – Thailand transboundary governance mechanisms. During the second phase from 2020 to 2021, the Floods and Drought Master Plan was developed, along with online 9C-9T Basin Atlas and a concept for project sustainability.
