Powering Sustainable Development from Village to Metropolis
The Office of International Energy Market Development, under the auspices of the Deputy Assistant Secretary for National Energy Policy within the Department of Energy’s Office of Policy and International Affairs (PI), has oversight within DOE for the multi-agency Clean Energy Initiative. The U.S. Government launched this Initiative at the World Summit on Sustainable Development with a commitment of $42 million. It is anticipated that U.S. funds will leverage up to $400 million in additional resources from other partners.
The Clean Energy Initiative seeks to provide millions of people in the developing world with access to affordable, reliable, clean, healthy, and efficient energy services. This U.S.-led, multi-year initiative includes three partnership programs to achieve key goals:
Efficient Energy for Sustainable Development Partnership will improve the productivity and efficiency of current operating systems, while reducing waste, saving money, improving reliability, and delaying the need for expensive new generating capacity. (USG lead: DOE)
The Global Village Energy Partnership will increase access to modern and affordable energy services in areas either not served or under-served by current energy delivery systems. (USG lead: U.S. Agency for International Development)
Healthy Homes and Communities Partnership will promote clean transportation fuels (e.g. unleaded gasoline, low sulfur fuels), and healthier indoor cooking and heating practices to reduce the estimated 3 million annual and readily preventable deaths associated with air pollution and unhealthy patterns of energy use. (USG lead: Environmental Protection Agency)
Partners:
The following partners are participating or have expressed interest in working with the EESD program.
Donor Governments: Australia, Canada, Denmark, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Sweden, United Kingdom and, the United States

Partnership efforts to date: The U.S. Government is working with other governments, international financial institutions, industry and NGO partners to implement Clean Energy Initiative activities in a range of countries over the next calendar year. These activities will focus on increased access to modern energy services, energy efficiency, cleaner fuels and improved air quality.
The U.S. Government has formed an interagency working group (including the Department of State, the U.S. Agency for International Development, DOE and the Environmental Protection Agency) that is working through U.S. missions and embassies worldwide to identify appropriate development activities to be implemented in the coming year.
