Eco Ltd is supporting the development of a project that will increase energy efficiency in buildings sector in Armenia. The project task is to oversee the development of a proposal for funding by the Global Environmental Facility.

Eco Ltd is supporting the development of a project that will increase energy efficiency in a variety of buildings in the North West Region of Russia, focusing specifically on the Vologda, Pskov, and Arkhangelsk regions.  The project task is to oversee the development of a proposal for funding by the Global Environmental Facility.

How can a donor assess whether their project grants are having a real impact? And how can they track and report the overall impacts of a portfolio of projects? Is it wise to track energy savings or GHG emission reductions from capacity building projects where these type of impacts are indirect? When more than one donor or stakeholder supports a project, how does one attribute the impacts to the support? The Eco-IISD consortium under contract to the REEEP is tackling these complex questions.

Eco Ltd supported the development of a project that will increase energy efficiency in the housing sector in Turkmenistan. The project task was to conduct a scoping exercise and develop a preliminary proposal for funding by the Global Environmental Facility and a request for support to prepare the final proposal.

Eco Ltd supported the development of a project to increase energy efficiency in public buildings in Uzbekistan. The project task was to develop a project document (proposal) for funding by the Global Environmental Facility, and the proposal was approved in August 2009.

Eco compiled a report on public sector energy efficiency in more than 30 countries, identifying best practices and preparing recommendations for helping local, regional, and national governments to save energy and reduce public expenditures.

The report, which covers several regions, found that while there had been many significant improvements in public sector energy efficiency programs, there was still significant potential to save energy in nearly every area where governments were spending money for basic operations.

Eco Ltd. Secures 1 000 000 USD Grant for Removal of Barriers to Energy Efficiency in the Biomass Sector in Kenya - 19 March 2006

Great strides in energy efficiency, energy conservation, and renewable energy are soon to be realized in Kenya with the recent awarding of a grant by the Global Environmental Facility (GEF) to a project developed by Eco, Ltd., jointly with local parties, and on behalf of the United Nations Development Programme.

 Eco Ltd worked with partners including ENERGIA and ITDG-EA to develop the "Turning Information into Empowerment" (TIE-ENERGIA) project. The project is designed to help distil information that has been developed and that continues to be developed in the field of energy and gender, into knowledge that can be used to catalyse change. It concerns several African countries (Botswana, Kenya, South Africa, Mali) and it aims at strengthening the African Gender and Energy Network by increasing awareness and skills in gender and energy issues.

Eco Ltd co-ordinates the HEDON Household Energy Network, an international forum dedicated to  improving social, economic, and environmental conditions in the South, through the promotion of local, national, regional and international initiatives in the household energy sector.
