Project Description and Summary of Services

 

 

 

 

 

IIEC implemented a participatory transport planning process for Metro-Manila, which included four 2-day workshops for 36 participants from government, non-governmental and, private-sector organizations.

IIEC trained the facilitators in participatory processes and oversaw the conduct of the workshops. The workshops resulted in the identification of 24 specific initiative concept papers to improve Metro Manila's transport system. The participants came up with action plans for implementing seven of the initiatives. The initial workshops were funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development. Follow-up work in 1999 was funded by the U.S. Country Studies Program.

About IIEC

iiec iconThe International Institute for Energy Conservation (IIEC) was founded in 1984 to dramatically increase the use of energy efficiency (EE) as an important clean energy approach in developing countries. Through our regional offices, we have been effective in bringing about progress in EE policy and implementation that has both reduced energy consumption by thousands of MWs and fostered economic development in the countries we serve. The IIEC works with stakeholders across all sectors to connect international best practice with the unique needs of the communities in which we operate, combining sound EE and renewable energy policy with hands-on implementation in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and encourage sustainable development.
