ESMAP's original purpose was to implementkey recommendationsof the Energy Assessmentreports and ensure that proposed investmentsin the energy sector representedthe most efficientuse of scarce domesticand external resources. In 1990, an internationalCommission addressed ESMAP's role for the 1990sand, noting the vital role of adequateand affordableenergy in economicgrowth, concluded that the Programme should intensify its efforts to assist developingcountries to manage their energy sectors more effectively. The Commissionalso recommendedthat ESMAP concentrate on making long-term efforts in a smaller number of countries. the Commission's report was endorsed at ESMAP's November1990 AnnualMeeting and promptedan extensivereorganization and reorientation of the Programme. Today, ESMAP is conductingEnergy Assessments,performing preinvestment and prefeasibilitywork, and providing institutionaland policy advice in selected developing countries. Through these efforts, ESMAP aims to assist governments, donors, and potential investors in identifying,funding, and implcmentingeconomically and environmentallysound energy strategies. GOVERNANCE AND OPERATIONS ESMAPis governedby a ConsultativeGroup (ESMAPCG), composedof representativesof the UNDP and World Bank, the govemmentsand institutionsproviding financialsupport, and representativesof the recipientsof ESMAP's assistance. The ESMAPCG is chairedby the World Bank's Vice President, Operationsand Sector Policy, and advised by a Technical Advisory Group (TAG) of independent energyexperts that reviewsthe Programme'sstrategic agenda, its work program, and other issues. The Managerof ESMAP, who reports to the World Bank's Vice President, Operationsand Sector Policy, administers the Programme. The Manager is assisted by a Secretariat, headed by an Executive Secretary,which supportsthe ESMAP CG and the TAG and is responsiblefor relations with the donors and for securingfunding for the Programme'sactivities. The Managerdirects ESMAP's two Divisions: The Strategyand ProgramsDivision advises on selectionof countriesfor assistance, carries out Energy Assessments,prepares relevantprograms of technicalassistance, and supportsthe Secretariaton funding issues. The OperationsDivision is responsiblefor formulationof subsectoralstrategies, preinvestment work, institutionalstudies, technicalassistance, and trainingwithin the frameworkof ESMAP's country assistanceprograms. FUNDING ESMAP is a cooperative effort supported by the World Bank, UNDP and other United Nations agencies, the EuropeanCommunity, Organization of AmericanStates (OAS), Latin AmericanEnergy Organization(OLADE), and countries including Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Germany, Finland, France, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Sweden, Switzerland,the United Kingdom,and the United States.

FOR OFFICIALUSE Report No. 9215-BU BURUNDI ISSUES AND OPTIONS IN THE ENERGY SECTOR January 1992 This is one of a series of reports of the Joint UNDP/WorldBank Energy Sector ManagementAssistance Programme. Finance for this work has been provided, in part, by the UNDP, and the Governmentof the Netherlands, and the work has been carried out by the World Bank. This report has a restricted distribution. Its contents may not be discussedwithout authorizationfrom the Government,the UNDP, or the World Bank. ABSTRACT Burundi has a certain endowmentof energy resources in the form of wood, hydropower and peat but with the present demand characteristics, population density and increase, as well as settlementpattern, the resources are either under pressure of potential depletion(wood) or are relatively costly to produce and supply (hydro resources and peat). In addition, the country's landlockedposition makes petroleumproducts, for which it is entirelydependent on import, very costly. A dominantshare of energy consumption (90%) is coi,eredby biomass (woodfuelsand crop residues) and households are #e main consumer categoryof energy (more than 90%). Some 85% of commercialenergy is imported, preempting 25-30% of the country's foreign exchangeearnings. Given the above profile, the principal direction of the country's efforts in the energy sector should be towards improving the efficiency of utilization and production of energy, increasingthe supply of woodfuels and lowering the supply costs of petroleum products, and strengtheninginstitutions in the energy sector to enable them to improve planning, implementationand operations. The main recommendationsof the present report are to: (i) improve demand managementwith respect to the different types of fuels, by introducing more efficient nricing policies for woodfuels and petroleum products and by fully implementingalready initiatedtariff reforms regarding electricity; (ii) more systematicallyfollow up the potential for increasing efficiency of production and consumptionof energy by non-pricemeasures, in particular with respect to charcoaland electricity, and to pursue the possibilityof substitutingpeat for fuel oil in industry; (iii) increase the supply of wood by further focussing on agro-forestry and improving managementof existing wood resources, to improve reliabilityof electricity supply, and to pursue the means of loweringpetroleum import costs and increasingthe reliabilityof supply; and (iv) further develop the capacity for overall energy planning as well as for preparing and implementingsubsector plans, by extending technical assistance and other support, by clarifying areas of responsibility,and by establishingand followingclear proceduresand planning methodologies. An Energy Sector RehabilitationProject is being prepared and will complementthe Energy Assessment.
