SUMMARY OF PROGRAM. The Program consists of the following two Projects and their activities (each, an “Activity” and collectively, the “Activities”): 1. Power Sector Governance Project (the “Governance Project”) The Governance Project focuses on building the capacity of power sector stakeholders to identify and solve problems in the following areas: the legal and regulatory environment; the policy and planning environment; NAWEC’s structure and governance; and external oversight and accountability. In addressing effectiveness, accountability, and transparency, the Governance Project is designed to bolster performance, support the Government’s existing efforts to provide universal access to electricity by 2025, increase gender representation and participation in the sector, and prioritize, where possible, public-private partnerships and transition to lower carbon forms of energy. The Governance Project uses a “learning by doing” approach facilitated by expert advisors (the “Facilitated Change Management Advisor”). The Facilitated Change Management Advisor supports teams of stakeholders working to identify the underlying causes of legal, policy, regulatory, administrative, access, and operational challenges, and then to solve those problems through a disciplined, iterative, and action-oriented approach. The Governance Project comprises two Activities: (a) Building Power Sector Governance Capacity (the “Governance Capacity Activity”) The Governance Capacity Activity supports Gambian power sector stakeholders, such as MOPE, NAWEC, the Ministry of Finance and Economic Affairs, the Public Utility Regulatory Agency (“PURA”), and the Office of the President, with the necessary skills and information to use appropriate government processes for solving problems and driving improved performance of the power sector.
