Oil for Development Programme

Oil for Development Programme Admin Tue, 01/19/2021 - 15:57

The Oil for Development (OfD) Programme offers assistance to developing countries in their effort to manage petroleum resources in a sustainable manner. Oil and gas play an important role in an increasing number of developing countries, and has the potential to generate economic and social development. In several cases, however, it has proven difficult to translate the resource into improved welfare for citizens of those countries.

Norway continues to receive numerous requests from countries that wish to learn from our experience in petroleum management, which is why the Government of Norway initiated the Oil for Development (OfD) Programme in 2005.

Through the OfD Programme, Norway shares its experience from more than five decades of managing oil and gas resources. Some key characteristics of the Norwegian experience are:

strategic ownership by the state, strong and competent institutions
continual accumulation of technical knowledge, an advanced regulatory system with high respect for the environment, health and safety
the society’s determination to secure national control over petroleum resources

Start Year

Status

Geographical Scope

Main Objectives

To reduce poverty by promoting economically, environmentally and socially responsible management of petroleum resources.

Main Activities

The authorities have established a legal and regulatory framework for the petroleum sector

The authorities manage the petroleum sector according to their mandate

The authorites are transparent in their management of the petroleum sector, and the public holds the authorities accountable Accountability is necessary both for preventing

Outcomes and Impact

The OfD Steering Committee has granted approval for a limited cooperation programme with Benin.

Norway and Kenya have developed a comprehensive programme for institutional cooperation, but the formal agreement is yet to be signed.

Norway has been providing petroleumrelated support to Mozambique for more than 30 years.

Further OfD support to South Sudanese authorities is contingent on political commitment to implementing the peace agreement and the extent to which the OfD programme possesses the tools needed to support the same peace agreement.

EU - Africa Infrastructure Trust Fund (EU-AITF) Author Wed, 12/02/2020 - 15:09

Established in 2007 by the European Commission and European Union Member States, the EU-Africa Infrastructure Trust Fund (EU-AITF) has since made a significant contribution to increase investment in infrastructure in Sub-Saharan Africa. It has done so by blending long term loans from participating financiers with grant resources from Donors, in four different sectors of activity (water, energy, transport, ICT).

In 2019, i.e. twelve years after the Fund’s operations started, Donors decided on the use of the EU-AITF’s remaining resources. This decision concludes the Fund’s commitment phase during which the EU-AITF approved more than 120 grant operations worth EUR 763 million.

EREF ECOWAS Renewable Energy Facility Author Wed, 12/02/2020 - 15:02

The ECOWAS Renewable Energy Facility (EREF) is a grant facility which is managed by the Secretariat of the ECOWAS Centre for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (ECREEE) based in Praia, Cape Verde. It provides grant co-funding for small to medium sized renewable energy and energy efficiency (RE&EE) projects and businesses in rural and peri-urban areas. The Facility undertakes regular demand driven call for proposals. During its first phase of operation (2011 to 2016), the EREF will test and sharpen its funding policy and find its comparative advantage in the West African market. In the second phase (2016 to 2020) the EREF will broaden its portfolio of financial instruments and support schemes (e.g. micro credits).
