| Summary: | Over the past two decades, the Energy
Sector Management Assistance Program (ESMAP) has financed
several projects to assist Bolivia in the development of its
energy sector, including the Bolivia Country Program First
Phase, which contributed to the design of a national energy
plan, the definition of policies and actions applicable to
rural energy and energy efficiency, and a significant
structural reform of the energy sector, and also supported
the preparation of the Bolivia National Biomass Program
(NBP) aimed at enhancing the efficient use of biomass as an
energy source, while improving the quality of life of the
rural population -- in consistence with the objectives of
the World Bank Country Assistance Strategy (CAS) in Bolivia
regarding accelerated growth and development of private
sector activities. An agreement subscribed in November 1997
between the Government of the Netherlands and the World Bank
assigned the execution of NBP to ESMAP, with the Vice
Ministry of Energy and Hydrocarbons (VMEH) as its
counterpart in Bolivia. |
