Advocate for Sustainable Energy Transition
ASET Project in 2016-2017
Armenia - Belarus - Macedonia - Serbia - Ukraine

The 1-year project "Strengthening Civil Society to Advocate for Sustainable Energy Transition" in short ASET Project has started at the end of August 2016 and finishes in October 2017.
The Project is an NGO Cooperation across the INFORSE-Europe network in 5 Eastern European countries: Armenia, Belarus, Macedonia, Serbia, Ukraine and Denmark.

The overall development objective of the Project is the transition of the 5 project countries, and ultimately the region to sustainable energy in a way that eliminates energy poverty and reduces poverty in general via creation of local jobs in energy efficiency and renewable energy.

The Project will facilitate to develop and promote sustainable energy strategies that are supported by a group of civil society organisations and that are influencing the official energy strategies or plans. This influence is either local or national, depending on the country.

The ASET project activities and results include:

Spring-summer 2017
Development of Proposals Based on the Strategies:
Following the process on the sustainable energy strategy, in each country the partner will develop inputs or proposals for official strategies and eventually legislation.
E.g., in Belarus and Serbia, where the focus is on local strategies, the partners will develop proposals for one or two local strategies with specific proposals that might form elements of sustainable energy action plan(s) that the local authorities can use to join the EU Covenant of Mayors.

August 30 - September 1, 2016
Start-up Meeting, Subotica, Serbia
At the meeting we:
- heard reviews of the situation in Macedonia, Serbia, Ukraine, Belarus, and Armenia.
- made an overview of the joint and national activities of the project.
- discussed energy planning: how to build local and national energy plans, examples of planning tools, experiences in how to succeed by NGOs with campaigns to influence energy plans, the value of NGO-driven plans.
- discussed campaigning for sustainable energy transition and planning.

Autumn and winter 2016
Development of Sustainable Energy Strategies

Spring 2017
Workshop/seminar/stakeholder meetings in each country to discuss national or local strategy:
The draft strategies will be the focus of dialogues with civil society (for local strategies, also with municipalities). Based on inputs from workshops and other dialogues, the strategies will be finalised together with a joint agreement or statement from civil society organisations.
