Kick off workshop 11 Innovation Energie Développement CAP REDEO February 07 Main Activities, Outputs & Expected Outcomes At the National level, establish a Multisector Stakeholder Group, Chaired by the Energy Ministries – Collect existing data to establish a multi sector data base with a GIS interface – Engage the group in a discussion on multisector coordination and planning criteria to increase the development impact of rural electrification – How energy inputs fit the Millenium Development Goals for the two countries and Poverty Reduction Strategies Education Local econmy Health Social welfare Data base with GIS available in August 2007

Kick off workshop 12 Innovation Energie Développement CAP REDEO February 07 Energy’s contribution to achieving the Milleneum Development Goals - MDGs 1.Extreme Poverty and Hunger: to halve by 2015 the world’s population living with less than one dollar per day 2.Universal primary education by Gender equality: equal access of boys and girls to education 4.Child mortality reduction by 2/3 by Maternal mortality reduction by ¾ by HIV / AIDS, Malaria and other major deseases 7.Environmental sustainability : halve people who do not have access to safe drinking water; stop environmental exploitation of natural resources

Kick off workshop 13 Innovation Energie Développement CAP REDEO February 07

Kick off workshop 14 Innovation Energie Développement CAP REDEO February 07 Provincial level implementation of GEOSIM (1) In one pilot Province in each country : Khamouane and Kampong Cham or Kampong Speu Approach –Identify Development Centers in the Provinces based on multisector criteria to assess development potential –Load forecasting - scenarios –Assessment of various production options – grid and off grid (hydro and biomass) –Development of scenarios which will highlight the potential projects for implementation Formulate the planning objective: –Population or village coverage? Time horizon? –Least cost? Priority on renewables?

Kick off workshop 15 Innovation Energie Développement CAP REDEO February 07 Provincial level implementation of GEOSIM(2) Establish a Provincial level working group by August 07, –including potential private operators and financial intermediaries Data collection / surveys and analysis: –Socio economic and production potential –August to December 2007 Run the various planning scenarios: January to August 2008 April to September 2008 : work on the investment plans with local stakeholders

Kick off workshop 16 Innovation Energie Développement CAP REDEO February 07 Training, Capacity Building and transfer Training sessions on planning, Data Base management and GIS, and the planning tool and approach Discussion Workshops : results and scenarios Hands on and continuos training Install Manifold GIS software : April to August 2007 The GEOSIM tool :January 2008  Objective for Project counterparts to run the tool by September 2008 and capable of replicating to other Provinces
