❖ Innovative models needed for rural areas

❖ Keeping up with the fast paced urban development growth

❖ Overcoming financing barriers in all relevant sectors

❖ Exploiting the full potential of biomass: Shifting fromtraditional to modern biomass

❖ Promoting energy efficiency in industries (energy audits,dedicated trainings, supporting regulatory framework,benchmarks definition, energy managers, financingmechanisms, etc..)

❖ Converging towards energy efficient housing (buildingrehabilitation, tackling energy subsidies obstacle,awareness raising and capacity building, energy labelling,enabling legal and regulatory frameworks, etc.)

3. Conclusions

❖ The EU is strongly committed in supporting the SE4ALL objectives andgoals, and to support developing countries, world wide, which arecommitted to reach the SE4All objectives and goals and to significantlyscale up investment in the energy sector; and

❖ The EU Technical Assistance Facility is one of the major instrumentsdeveloped by the EU to implement its SE4All commitments.

❖ The EU TAF is a Demand driven process - The participation ofrelevant parties is crucial to extract the most out of the TAF.

❖ Next steps for EU TAF for SE4ALL in are:❖ Beneficiaries can address their support requests to the EU

Delegations;❖ DEVCO will then mobilize the EU TAF, which would be able to

quickly identify human resources needed (Key and Non-KeyExperts) to support Beneficiaries in the implementation of theirProjects.
