230002873 EnDev Energizing Development Heeft betrekking op aanvraag 4000003566, omdat budgetplaatst is aangepast van bijdrage naar beschikking EnDev started out as a partnership between the Netherlands and Germany (2005-2008) and has developed into a long-standing, successful, multi-donor partnership between the governments of the Netherlands, Germany, Norway, and Switzerland. It is co-managed by RVO and GIZ (through BMZ). EnDev focuses on decentralised energy solutions and supports market development for modern energy facilities, especially in rural areas in Sub-Sahara Africa. These solutions provide access to electricity, for example through solar systems and isolated networks. This is supplemented by clean cooking energy solutions. The programme focuses on households, social institutes, and small to medium-sized enterprises in developing countries. 4000003566 The objective of the Demand Side Subsidies Programme (DSS) is to pilot new demand side subsidy mechanisms in four countries in Sub-Saharan Africa to facilitate access to modern, reliable and affordable energy services — encompassing off-grid solar and/or improved and clean cooking solutions — for low-income and displaced populations who are not cur rently reached by commercial markets. The pilots are developed with a view to scale-up, by the Worldbank and others. DSS is part of the wider Energizing Development Partnership (EnDev).
