  • Process Used for the Development of the National Energy Policies in Pacific Island Countries
    Process used for the Development of the National Energy Policies in Pacific Island Countries By Anare Matakiviti, PIEPSAP Energy Adviser Secretariat of Pacific Islands Geoscience Commission (SOPAC) Mead Road, Nabua GPO Private Mail Bag, Suva FIJI ISLANDS Acknowledgement This document has been made possible through the efforts of the following people: (1) Gerhard Zieroth, PIEPSAP Project Manager, for his guidance and valuable advice in the implementation of the PIEPSAP project. (2) Yogita Chandra Bhikabhai, PIEPSAP Project Officer, for consistently putting up with my inequity with respect to issues pertaining energy and gender. (3) Thomas Jensen, Sustainable Renewable Energy Adviser, UNDP, Samoa, for providing very useful comments on the draft versions. (4) Paul Fairbairn, Manager Community Lifelines Programme, for his comments and editing work - providing clarity where ambiguities exist. I also want to thank Lala Bukarau for the editorial work, without which it might be difficult to capture the intent and meaning of the some of the statements used. I wish to acknowledge all the PICs that PIEPSAP has had the opportunity to work with and assisted in developing their national energy policies and commend all energy officials and stakeholders who participated in their development. Freely sharing their experiences has been a source of inspiration and I should state here that I have learnt more from them then they from me. Last but not the least, the government of Denmark for sponsoring the PIEPSAP project, without which this document would not exist. ii Disclaimer I take full responsibility for any error, ambiguity or discrepancy found in this document. The views expressed here should not be interpreted as the official view of SOPAC or any institution or agency nor any person mentioned above.
