Energy Sector Management Assistance Program (ESMAP)
The Energy Sector Management Assistance Program (ESMAP) is a global knowledge and technical assistance program administered by the World Bank. It provides analytical and advisory services to low- and middle-income countries to increase their know-how and institutional capacity to achieve environmentally sustainable energy solutions for poverty reduction and economic growth. Supporting over a hundred activities in countries around the world at any given time, ESMAP is an integral part of the Energy and Extractives Global Practice of the World Bank.
ESMAP catalyzes change by:
- Strengthening policy frameworks, and reforming energy prices and subsidies
- Helping countries to secure affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern energy supply to end extreme poverty and boost shared prosperity
- Facilitating the transition to lower carbon and resilient energy systems, de-risking investments, and integrating variable renewable energy into power grids
