SEAF - Sustainable Energy Advisory Facility
 SEAF
was a pilot initiative to provide information and technical support
for sustainable energy activities in selected developing countries.
Further, the facility assisted partner organisations to prepare
better for the 9th Session of the United
Nations Commission on Sustainable Development (CSD-9).
The project was implemented as a pilot effort by UNEP and UNEP's
Collaborating Centre on Energy and Environment (URC) - under
financing from the Danish
International Development Assistance (Danida). Services offered
included access to information, expert assistance and support for
national or regional training.
Technical assistance was offered to decisionmakers in other pilot
countries for:
- sector and national planning studies
- climate change mitigation studies
- technology assessment and selection
- assessment of renewable and conventional energy projects with
reduced environmental impacts
- linkage to relevant institutions for project finance
Expert support was provided by UNEP/URC staff or regional/international
consultants.
