• it promote policies that place energy and transport within a broader
sustainable development context
• it steer project developers and the investment community towards
greater engagement in the renewable energy and energy efficiency
sectors
• assists governments and institutions move from the idea phase to
the implementation phase
• offering not only tools and resources, but also the skills needed to
effectively use those tools and resources.
