The primary objective of the study under the broader theme on “Energy Access” will be to carry out an initial assessment of the energy situation and identify viable and proven policy options that can assist in providing cleaner and more sustainable energy services to the poor the rapidly growing urban and peri-urban population in and around the mega-cities around the world in the context of a rapidly reforming energy sector. This will include assessing if previous energy policy reforms have addressed these challenges or have they actually contributed to the growing problem of inadequate energy services, through neglect, for the poor living in the urban and the peri-urban areas in the developing world. Building on this assessment, focus will be on ongoing and planned energy policy reforms and address the questions of how likely they are to lead to improved, cleaner and more sustainable energy services for the poor in these areas in the developing countries and how the processes can be improved to promote better access to cleaner energy services from the poverty alleviation, environmental and productive use of energy point of view.
