LINKAGE OF ENERGY TO THE MDGs Many institutions have considered the MDGs and integrated the important linkages of energy services to them. In fact, as energy services are essential ingredients of all three pillars of sustainable development (economic, social and environmental, as below), they can be an input to all MDGs: • Economic sustainability assumes that social and environmental aspects of sustainable development must be defined economically; • Social sustainability assumes that economic and environmental aspects must be defined by taking into account social considerations (i.e. equal opportunities for all); • Environmental sustainability assumes that the economic and social aspects are defined by considering environmental constraints; • The long-term perspective assumes social, economic and environmental aspects can be sustained through generations and views remain consistent with the majority of the population. 26 5.1. Development agencies A number of development agencies are helping to facilitate the MDGs, not so much through direct involvement in their management, as in the financing of market studies and the development of business plans to assist private sector interests in establishing and operating energy services for rural people. These efforts are aimed at addressing uncertainty and providing the necessary interface between poor communities, energy services and private capital. Department for International Development – UK The UK’s Department for International Development’s (DFID) document “Energy for the Poor” clearly outlines a matrix of energy and the MDGs, drawing on case studies to reinforce the linkages. 27 Broadly this shows that: • To halve extreme poverty – access to energy services facilitates economic development – micro-enterprise, livelihood activities beyond daylight hours, 26 SOPAC/ICCEPT Pacific Islands Biomass Energy Resource Assessment Training Course 27 DFID – Energy for the Poor, Annex 1
