Evaluation of Norwegian Assistance to the Energy Sector of SADCC Countries

This volume focuses on energy policy issues in SADCC and attempts to draw out policy conclusions for future Norwegian assistance. This is a somewhat difficult task since Norway's own aid policy emphasises equity issues, whereas the major investment programmes concentrate on infrastructure development which does not necessarily serve the majority of the people directly. It raises again the dilemmas of traditional versus modem sector assistance, of rural or urban development.
