Task Order No. 801<br />
Page 4 of 11<br />
Due to these GOE led developments, there is an explicit need for technical<br />
assistance to guide the new initiatives. Because the existing program had<br />
expected a slow pace for privatization, assistance for the fields of<br />
commercialization, restructuring, regulation and privatization are urgently<br />
required. To begin to assist the GOE with a rapid reform of the electricity<br />
sector, USAID utilized Energy IQC in June 1998 to establish a small team of key<br />
policy advisors along with short-term assistance in highly specialized fields.<br />
ESPG, the existing Energy IQC contractor, will continue efforts for the<br />
achievement of USAID policy concerning institutional development to insure that<br />
EEA can sustain benefits and progress made under prior USAID assistance<br />
programs, the emphasis of their IQC will be to strengthen institutional and<br />
policy reform efforts in support of MEE, EEA and EC's (Electric Companies) on<br />
proposed electric sector commercialization/privatization and restructuring. The<br />
priorities on the assistance will be on regulatory, organizational, management,<br />
operational, financial and policy/legal issues that are necessary for<br />
commercialization and private sector participation in power generation,<br />
transmission and distribution.<br />
Additional initiatives remain to be implemented.<br />
