Overview of Global Sustainable Development

Framework• In 1992 the UN Rio summit launched agenda

21 as guide to Sustainable Development

• I996 the OECD called for the formulation and implementation of a sustainable development strategy in every country by 2005.

• In 1998, World Bank and UNDP introduced a Comprehensive Development Framework (CDF) as a long term strategic horizon of say 15 – 20 years and within this framework Poverty Reduction Strategy (PRS) was launched.

4

Overview cont…..Overview cont…..• However, developing countries encountered much

more challenges in achieving Sustainable Development. (Extreme poverty, political instability, population growth, HIV-AIDS, Malaria, poor access to modern energy etc.)

• In September 2000 the world leaders unanimously adopted the Millennium Development Goals for reduction of poverty, hunger, mortality, illiteracy, environmental degradation and discrimination against women.

• Energy could not be given priority

• Poor access to modern energy services significantly contribute to the challenges.

5

• Tanzania is committed to the MDGs.

• Efforts to ensure sustainable development in Tanzania have been focused on poverty reduction.

• In 1999 National Vision 2025 was prepared as a guiding framework for poverty eradication.

• The Poverty Reduction Strategy (PRSP) was formulated and implemented as medium term strategy for the period of 3 years (2001 – 2003).

Sustainable development framework in Tanzania

Some of weakness and lessons drawn from implementation of PRSP in Tanzania• Lack of awareness and ownership of the PRSP 

• Failure to provide the opportunity for a “bottom up approach”.

• Limited collaboration with stakeholders.

• Poor participation of non-priority sectors like energy sector.

• Participation of the poor in the PRSP was not institutionalized within the Local Government Reform Programme.

• Inadequate mechanisms in dealing with cross-cutting issues such as environment, HIV/AIDS, gender and employment

• Lack of PRSP communication strategies

• Inadequate resources to implement PRSP consultations.

7

• Number of consultations were made nationwide and within and between different sectors and stakeholders.

• The key efforts were to shift from “priority sector approach” to the “outcome oriented approach”.

• Inter ministerial consultative workshop - to identify key areas of inter-sector linkages and establish modalities for fostering them in the implementation of poverty reduction strategy.

• A national workshop – to ingrain consensus around the strategy among government and non-government actors (CSOs)

• The process climaxed by the poverty policy week – to find more consensus, foster ownership, increase awareness and deepen the understanding on specific issues that required more attention.

The PRSP Reviewing Process

Some of issues that come out in the consultations

• Linking formerly “non –priority sectors” to poverty reduction outcomes, recognizing that all sectors contribute to growth and poverty reduction

• Capacity constraints of managing the PRS/Poverty Monitoring System at central and local government levels;

• Harmonization of national policy processes and alignment of sector development strategies and plans of the NSGRP;

• Enhancing partnership between and among sector ministries;

• The need and how to mainstream cross –cutting issues;

• Linkages between key international and national development initiatives. Tanzania’s Vision 2005 - NSGRP and MDGs

• The NSGRP with 18 goals in three clusters - economic growth, improvement of life and social well being, and governance and accountability.

Role of Energy in achieving NSGRP targets Goal Operational

targets Energy link with NSGRP

Promoting sustainable and broad-base growth

Accelerate GDP growth rate to attain a growth rate of 6-8%per annum by 2010

Energy is crucial in the development of infrastructures such as roads, airports and communication networks•Access to modern energy facilitates enterprises development thereby increase employment Energy is needed for agricultural mechanisation (ploughing, sowing, harvesting), water pumping for irrigation, and crop transportation, processing and storage,

Goal Operational targets

Energy link with NSGRP

Improve food availability and accessibility at household level in urban and rural areas

Increase food crop production from 9 millions tons in 2003/04 to 12 millions tons in 2010

  Energy inputs for drying agricultural crops have potential of reducing crop waste, improving farm productivity and improve food nutrients.   95% of all staple food needs cooking and use of modern energy technologies can reduce the cost and make activity efficient

Reducing income poverty of both men and women

Reduce proportion of rural population below the basic needs poverty line from 38.6% 2001 to 24%in 2010

 Clean and efficient energy reduces larger share of household expenditures on medication, time to fetch firewood and to cook.• Reliable energy services offer scope for rural enterprises and allow income generating activities

targets Energy link with NSGRP

Ensuring equitable access to quality primary and secondary education for boys and girls

Increase gross and net enrolment of boys and girls in primary schools, secondary schools and colleges

  Access to modern energy is essential for better teaching equipment, photocopy.  Electricity enables access to education media and communication in schools.   Modern energy create a more child friend environment at school – reduce class drop out.

Improve health and well-being of all children and women and of especially vulnerable groups

Reduce infant mortality, children, mortality maternal mortality and HIV prevalence

•Energy is needed to store medicine improve medical equipment services (sterilizers) and lightingIndoor air pollution from fire smoke contribute to respiratory infection in children and women while cooking  

• Combustion of fossil fuels is larger source of health-damaging through air pollutants and GHGs

l targets Energy link with NSGRP

Increase access to clean, affordable and safe water, sanitation, decent, shelter, and sustainable environment.

Increase proportion of people with access to clean and safe water, reduce water related environmental pollution

· Energy allows water pumping and boiling, disinfections, purification, storage, and distribution.· Pumping water reduces drudger and time spent for collecting water, mostly for women and children.

ConclusionConclusion

MModern energy is a growth engine for odern energy is a growth engine for sustainable development,sustainable development,It is encouraging that it has been prioritized in It is encouraging that it has been prioritized in the NSGRP. However, more capacity building is the NSGRP. However, more capacity building is required in all development sectors in order to required in all development sectors in order to integrate energy in the sectoral policies, integrate energy in the sectoral policies, strategies, programmes and projectsstrategies, programmes and projects. .
