Exchanging experience on rural energy technologies

Description

Exchanging experience on rural energy technologies involves systematically sharing practical knowledge, case studies, and technical solutions among communities, practitioners, and organizations. This strategy accelerates the adoption of effective, context-appropriate energy systems by disseminating lessons learned, troubleshooting methods, and best practices. It directly addresses barriers such as lack of information, technical capacity, and duplication of failed approaches, thereby improving implementation success, reducing costs, and fostering innovation in rural energy access and sustainability.

Context

This strategy features in the framework of Agenda 21 as formulated at UNCED (Rio de Janeiro, 1992), now coordinated by the United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development and implemented through national and local authorities.

Claim

Drawing on the experience and available information of non-governmental organizations in this field, the appropriate UN agencies and regional organizations should, exchange country and regional experience on rural energy planning methodologies in order to promote efficient planning and select cost-effective technologies.
