This book develops a comprehensive assessment of the evolution of residential fuel choice and consumption in urban areas in the developing world, and the effect of urban growth on periurban forest resources. Taken together, energy surveys and biomass data contained sufficiently wide variation in urban fuel choice and consumption patterns, local resource conditions, and energy policy regimes to enable an assessment of the factors underlying the evolution of urban fuel utilization and forest resources. By comparing the patterns of energy use of a large number of cities, the auithors were able to distill a comprehensive picture of both the diversity underlying the energy transition and the fundamental principles applying across cases.

| Following a brief review of some facts about energy and the poor, the article discusses the demand of households and business for energy. Then, it presents an energy–poverty framework and suggests five energy development goals to focus energy–poverty diagnosis and policy formulation. The impact on poverty reduction of progress in achieving the five energy development goals is discussed, and indicators are defined to establish baselines and monitor progress. Finally, outlines policies and programs that may be adopted to achieve these energy development goals are presented.<br>

| This paper outlines a theory of Africa’s poverty trap and the structural conditions and history that led to it. It identifes how key public investments could enable well-governed African countries to meet the United Nations’ Millennium Development Goals and thereby begin to extricate themselves from the trap. It outlines the specific sets of investments needed to achieve these goals in three African countries, and it estimates the corresponding financial costs. The authors also propose a new operational framework through which the international community could help African countries make the needed investments.<br>

| 1995<br>
 
| In India, the private power initiative of 1991 has offered one solution to the financing problem - the private financing of generation against long-term power purchase agreements. However, this approach encounters a major problem, the financial weakness of the purchasing agents, the state electricity boards, that pay a dominant role in most state's power sectors. The article discusses the consideration of the factors that will affect the optimal capital structure for SEBs.<br>

| The report examines how a developing country government, concerned with tackling poverty among its citizens, should think about its role in the energy sector. Furthermore, it assesses the role energy policies and projects in alleviating poverty and asks what kinds of policies and projects are likely to have the most beneficial—and sustainable—impact. Finally, the World Bank report studies where energy sector policy advisers, similarly concerned with promoting development and improving the lot of the poor, should focus their efforts.<br><br>a) Energy services for the world's poor<br>b) Trends in private investment in the ergy sector (1990-1999)<br>c) Selected Readings and key contacts at the World Bank Group<br>

| Rural Energy in Developing Countries<br>
 
| A Challenge for Economic Development<br>
 
| Barnes, D.F.<br>Floor, W.M.<br>
 
| <br>
 
| Annual Review of Energy Environment 1996, pp. 497-530<br>
 
| 1996<br>
 
| This paper evaluates some successful programs and recommends that governments support market-oriented approaches that make the energy market equally accessible and attractive to local investors, communities, and consumers. According to the authors, such approaches ideally improve access to energy for rural and poor people by revising energy pricing and by making the first costs of the transition to modern and more sustainable uses of energy more affordable.<br>

| <br>
 
| Resources and Energy, Vol. 9 (1987), pp. 347-361<br>
 
| 1987<br>
 
| The paper applies a multinomial logit formulation of the energy ladder to household energy-use data from Zimbabwe. The results show that although households do move away from wood to kerosene and electricity as their economic status improves, a large number of other factors are important in determining household fuel choice.<br>

| World Development, Vol. 28 (2000), No. 12, pp. 2083-2103<br>
 
| 2000<br>
 
| In the paper the authors evaluate the energy ladder model utilizing data from a four-year (1992--96) case study of a village in Mexico and from a large-scale survey from four states of Mexico. They show that an alternate "multiple fuel" model of stove and fuel management based on the observed pattern of household accumulation of energy options, rather than the simple rogression depicted in the traditional energy ladder scenario, more accurately depicts cooking fuel use patterns in rural households.<br>

| Rural electrification has been claimed to have substantial benefits, promoting production and better health and education. The report demonstrates rates of return on rural electrification projects are sufficient to warrant investments into rural electrification. Moreover, it shows that consumer willingness to pay for electricity is almost always at or above supply cost. Given these findings, the report argues that rural electrification is both an important goal and a feasible one. <br>

| Accounting for Poverty in Infrastructure Reform<br>
 
| Learning from Latin America's Experience<br>
 
| Estache, A.<br>Foster, V.<br>Wodon, Q:<br>
 
| World Bank<br>
 
| <br>
 
| 2002<br>
 
| This book explores the connections between infrastructure reform and poverty alleviation in Latin America based on a detailed analysis of the effects of a decade of reforms. It demonstrates that because the access to, and affordability of, basic services is still a major problem, infrastructure investment will be a core component of poverty alleviation programs in the region. The book shows that although affordability of service tariffs is often an issue, in many instances, access is a much more important concern in meeting the infrastructure needs of the poor. Thus, the authors conclude infrastructure provision is a key poverty-reduction tool.<br>

| 2001<br>
 
| This paper proposes an integrated ecological, economic and social model to assist sustainable rural development in villages in Bangladesh. In the model, renewable energy technologies create income-generating activities for male landless and marginal farmers and for women from such households, while reducing environmental problems, like deforestation and indoor air pollution from cooking with poor-quality fuels. Against this background, the paper also covers aspects of micro-credit approaches and the role of village organizations.<br>

| Maximizing the Productive Uses of Electricity to Increase the Impact of Rural Electrification Programs
 
| An operational methodology
 
| de Gouvello, C.<br>Durix, L.
 
| ESMAP/World Bank
 
| ESMAP Formal Report 332/08
 
| 2008
 
| This paper argues that to be successful, rural electrification programs should target direct impact on livelihoods and revenue generation beyond the provision of connections and kilowatt-hours by implementing electricity projects that affect livelihoods and generate new revenues. The necessity and the modalities of this cooperation with other sectors are discussed and two approaches—the systematic approach and the pragmatic approach—to foster such cooperation are described in this paper. The systematic approach analyzes the technologies used in the production processes of goods and services in a specifi ed rural area. The pragmatic approach follows an opportunistic tactic, taking advantage of preexisting opportunities resulting from the ongoing or planned implementation of another project or program in a given area. It is implemented when conditions are ripe for a quick-win project that would provide rapid revenue-enhancing gains, thanks to access to electricity.Both the systematic and pragmatic approaches are being tested and implemented in Senegal, where they were initially developed and implemented within the Electricity Services in Rural Areas Project (ESRAP) co-fi nanced by the World Bank.

Following it is a general discussion of current approaches to poverty and gender issues, existing evidence on links between energy, poverty, and gender. The discussion centers on the “vicious circle” of energy poverty: The inability to buy improved energy supplies or equipment results in low productivity, low quality of outputs and an inability to release reproductive2 labor for economic activity, leading to low returns to investment and labor inputs, again limiting possibilities for energy investments.

| This paper focusses on the potentially important role of rural nonagricultural activity in the development process. Using the Hymer-Resnick Z-goods model as a point of departure, the authors first show that its pessimistic conclusions are based on rather restrictive assumptions as applied to the colonial period. They relax these assumptions, indicating the theoretical possibility of a<br>substantially more positive scenario for that period. Subsequently, we analyze the role of Zgoods, traditional and nontraditional, in the post-independence era, again distinguishing between archetypal pessimistic and optimistic cases. Finally, the comparative historical experience of the Philippines and Taiwan is brought to bear to illustrate the argument empirically.

| According to the authors, business services must be demand driven, managed in a sustainable manner, and diversified beyond management training. For success, linkages must provide benefits to the three key actors involved: enterprises, BDS providers, and micro-finance institutions. Thirty linked programs are analyzed using a six-part typology.

| Training for the Urban Unemployed
 
| Wodon, Q.<br>Minowa, M.

| This paper suggests that recent evaluations of a large training program for the unemployed by the Government of Mexico may have suffered from inappropriate controls for the endogeneity of program participation. It therefore develops an alternative methodology and shows the ineffieciency of the program.
