IIEC launched the  Capacity Building Programme in 1997. This programme strengthened the capacity of NGOs to promote sustainable energy alternatives and provided the co-ordination and support for groups to be more focused and effective through planning strategies and working together.

The achievements of the programme include the following:
- Formation of an NGO information exchange program (of energy policy development updates and other relevant materials) among 34 NGOs across the Ukraine.
- Creation of a parliamentary group which brought together a range of Rada deputies with strong interests in energy and the environment. The group focused on energy-related environmental policy, global climate change and development and co-ordination of mitigation strategies.
- Two successful NGO training seminars. The first in June 1998 entitled “Sustainable Energy for Ukraine” brought together 30 participants from across Ukraine to discuss sustainable energy alternatives, energy policy making and strategies for promoting sustainable energy at a national level. The second workshop entitled “Energy Conservation as a way to Meet Local Energy Needs: Main actors, Models, and Best Practices” brought together for the first time NGOs, local government and business to develop sustainable energy policy and public/private partnerships to meet local energy needs.

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.
