Data and information are either missing or scattered amongst nationalinstitutions making it hard to have a real grasp on the energy sector. By implementing EIS within the EnergyDepartments, the SIE-Afrique will reinforce the comprehensive overview of the energy sector giving data andinformation an operational value while reaffirming the coordination role of the Department within the sector.Niger, Senegal, and Togo, have been selected, among 11 candidate countries, through a rigorous process underthe hospices of the International Steering Committee.The national team will become autonomous in 3 years, as shown during the pilot project in Benin (1999-2001). Thisis possible using the successful SIE-Coaching method combined with performance assessment of the team firstdeveloped by ECONOTEC during the pilot phase. The team is thus at the core of the project, ECONOTEC playinga catalyst role.5 EIS is the set of information needed for the implementation of an efficient energy policy.38
Energy services for poverty alleviation in Sub-Saharan Africa: 24 COOPENER projects supported by the IEE programmeExpected results• Management and development of the national energy information system (EIS) becomes a usual but importanttask of the Ministry in charge of energy.• the 3 national teams have the capacity:- to autonomously maintain and manage the EIS- to identify national priorities in terms of energy policy- to design, assess, and monitor energy policies;• The EIS offers a comprehensive view of the energy sector.• The EIS provides a national dialogue framework for energy stakeholders.• Energy data, indicators, and analysis hosted on: www.sie-energie.gouv.sn, www.sie-niger.ne www.sie-togo.tgLessons learntAlthough the project is not yet completed it gives rise to the following preliminary conclusions:• A first set of energy policies priorities has already been identified. Even with incomplete data, the results arestriking. In some cases, the EIS identified the nature and assessed the efforts needed to attain the objectives ofcurrent energy policies (this is notably the case for rural electrification objectives).• As a result, there is an urgent need to implement efficient EIS before planning any significant investmentprogramme in the energy sector, such as the ones related to Poverty Reduction Strategies (PRS) or RuralElectrification Programmes, network interconnections, and additional power capacity. Reliable technoeconomicinformation and more transparency, brought by the EIS, are essential to ensure an efficient allocationof financial resources.• The overall impacts of the project are broader than expected: The SIE-Coaching method combined with teammanagement based on performance is now starting to transform the way people work. As one team memberwrites: « The EIS experience is giving us a length ahead in terms of structure and strength of the ideas andanalysis and in terms of work methods that favour teamwork ».39
