An international Commission was convened in 1990 to address the creation of ESMAP's role in the Nineties. !t concluded that the Programme had a crucial part to play over the next decade in assisting the developing countries to better manage their energy sectors given that the supply of energy at reasonable prices is a critical determinant of the pace and magnitude of the growth process. The Commission's recommendations received broad endorsement at the November 1990 ESMAP Annual Meeting. Today, ESMAP is carrying out energy assessments, preinvestment and prefeasibility activities and is providing institutional and policy advice. The program aims to strengthen the impact of bilateral and multilateral resources and private sector investment through providing technical assistance to the energy sector of developing countries. The findings and recommendations emerging from ESMAP activities provide governments, donors, and potential investors with the information needed to identify economically and environmentally sound energy projects and to accelerate their preparation and implementation. ESMAP's operational activities are managed by two Divisions within the Industry and Energy Department at the World Bank and an ESMAP Secretariat. * The Programme's activities are governed by the ESMAP Consultative Group which consists of its co- sponsors, the UNDP and the World Bank, the governments which provide financial support and representatives of the recipients of its assistance. The Chairman of the Group is the World Bank's Vice President Sector Policy and Research. He is assisted by a Secretariat headed by the Group's Executive Secretary who is also responsible for relations with the donors and securing funding for the Programme's activities. The Secretariat also gives support and advice to a Technical Advisory Group of independent energy experts which meets periodically to review and scrutinize the Programme's strategic agenda, its work program and other issues related to ESMAP's functioning. * Ihe ESMAP Strategy and Programs Division is responsible for advising on which countries should receive ESMAP assistance, preparing relevant ESMAP programs of technical assistance to these countries and supports the Secretariat on funding issues. It also carries out broadly based studies such as energy assessments. * The ESMAP Operations Division is responsible for the detailed design and implementation of tasks sonsistinR mainly of sub-sectoral strategy formulation, preinvestment work, institutional studies, technical assistance and training within the framework of overall ESMAP country assistance programs. FUNDING The ESMAP represents a cooperative international effort supported by the World Bank, the United Nations Development Programme and other United Nations agencies, the European Community, Organization of American States (OAS), Latin American Energy Organization (OLADE), and a number of countries including Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, the Federal Republic of Germany, Finland, France, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Sweden Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States.
