1. Mandate and Preparation

• The conveners of renewables 2004 (the German Federal Ministries BMU and BMZ) invited REN21, to co-ordinate the follow-up and carry out the reporting on the implementation of IAP Actions.

• IAP Follow Up activity was adopted by REN21 SC meeting in Beijing November 2005.

3. Disclosure and Publication Policy • REN21 Secretariat is making the (edited) reports

received available on-line continuously on the website www.ren21.net

• Secretariat has prepared a first Interim Report in print for the occasion of the 14th Session of the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development (CSD), 1-12 May 2006, in New York (first distributed to SC members)

• Updated on-line Interim Report to be prepared for June 2006, two years after renewables 2004


4

Response Rate• Continued effort in reminding is successful• Sent first contact in early March. By 27 April

2006, Partners for 83 Actions had responded, bringing the response rate to 42 percent.

• Should guarantee that by June 2006, two years after the Bonn conference, significantly more than half of the Actions will be reported on.

• Will consider further steps to increase effectiveness of this process

4. Status of Reporting April 27, 2006.


5

Structure of response:• Most regions of origin (of the leading Partner) and target (where the

Action is implemented) are represented in the current sample, except North America, from where reports have been announced

• All categories of actor types, i.e. governments (including regional and local governments), international organisations (including international financial institutions), non-governmental organisations, research bodies, and the private sector have shown strong participation in this reporting initiative.

• Responses are also relatively evenly distributed among the different types of Actions.

All categories have been covered, though unevenly. The sample of responses received can be considered fairly representative for all of the Actions put forward in the IAP.

Example: Pakistan Alternative Energy Development Board

Goal: Target of 10% RE electricity by 2015, via implementing policies, fiscal incentives, public awareness, strengthening institutions;

Rural electrification target: 50,000 villages electrified

Results so far:

- Legislation enacted

- 104 MW going on line in the next six months – interim target of 800 MW (5%) by 2010

- 8,000 rural people with modern energy services via installation of 182KW micro RE

Key Lessons: 1) Governments must lead the way in order to attract private capital; 2) Off-grid rural RE needs proper training and awareness to achieve acceptance and proper implementation
