The global objective of the proposed assessment and gap filling mission was to provide decision-makers in the Government of Zambia and the European Commission with sufficient information to be in position to map possible energy interventions in the ongoing 11th EDF programming exercise. The specific objectives were to undertake an energy sector analysis & needs assessment and to outline areas of intervention for possible future donor activities in Zambia, in both the national and the regional context. An additional output was to provide background data for potential hydro-electrical generation and distribution projects and alternative sources of energy that could generate economically viable investments as a basis for further discussions in the planned "Energy Seminar" that was held in Lusaka on June 2013.
