Mains electricity is still a rarity in Afghanistan. Only one third of the population has access to electrical power. In addition to technical advances, improving the supply of energy requires further political reform and significant public and private investments. Among other things, it will require a secure legal framework for private investments and private plant operators. Since 2002, the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH has been working on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Development and Cooperation (BMZ) to help Afghanistan develop its energy sector by adding more renewable energy.

Water and wastewater utilities are among the largest consumers of energy in developing countries and emerging economies due to high losses of water (50-60 %) and energy (40 %).The project introduces greenhouse gas-reducing technologies to water and wastewater companies and thereby improves those companies’ CO2 balance. It supports climate protection efforts in the water sector using a cross-sectoral approach known as the ‘urban nexus’, which addresses water, energy and food security in an integrated manner.
In four pilot countries, the project is developing strategies for a climate-resilient and low-emissions water sector. Together with the respective executing agencies, it agrees on measures that take into consideration all components of the urban water system, optimising them for energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.
In collaboration with the International Water Association (IWA), the Energy performance and Carbon emissions Assessment and Monitoring (ECAM) tool was developed with which it is possible to estimate potential energy and emissions savings and which, in so doing, makes it possible to measure the water sector’s contribution to climate protection.
In the pilot countries, the project works with experts and managers, advising them on how to improve the policy, regulatory and institutional framework for the integration of emission reduction measures in the water sector. The advice focuses on the wider dissemination of the urban nexus approach, support for the implementation of national mitigation strategies and the introduction of appropriate financing strategies.
