<strong>The</strong> <strong>African</strong> <strong>10</strong> <strong>Year</strong> <strong>Framework</strong> <strong>Programme</strong> (<strong>10</strong>YFP) on Sustainable Consumption and Production<br />
d. Support development of hydropower in <strong>African</strong> countries. E.g. Kenya<br />
produces 80% of its energy by hydropower and Uganda <strong>10</strong>0%.<br />
• Promote more research and assessment of the potential of<br />
hydropower at the national and sub-regional level.<br />
• Development financing mechanisms for development of<br />
hydropower projects.<br />
e. Encourage biomass, which is a good alternative for fuel-oil<br />
production.<br />
f. Promote research and assessment of bio-fuels, and disseminate good<br />
practices taking place in Africa and other regions (Brazil, Germany)<br />
and can be replicated in other <strong>African</strong> countries. <strong>The</strong>re is a need for<br />
more research and development in this area with the view to scaling<br />
up the benefits. E.g. the jatropha tree in Kenya.<br />
g. Support and capacity building to develop studies to use the bio-fuels<br />
as implementation of CDMs.<br />
Concrete action:<br />
1. Promotion of Mini-hydros in Power Generation for Rural Enterprise<br />
Development<br />
Objectives:<br />
• Contribute to stop the high rural-urban migration.<br />
• development of rural enterprises.<br />
• Promote environmentally sound and economically feasible<br />
alternatives for energy.<br />
Activities:<br />
a. identify appropriate locations for development mini hydropower<br />
plants in selected countries in Africa.<br />
b. establish financial mechanisms to support the investments to support<br />
the investment<br />
