| Joint Sector Networks Regional Conference 2022 |
|
The Joint Sector Networks Regional Conference of SNRD Asia and the Pacific and TUEWAS was successfully held during 19-23 September 2022 in Bangkok, Thailand. We had the pleasure of welcoming a total of 204 participants from 15 countries, mainly in Asia and the Pacific region, namely Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Cambodia, Germany, Ghana, India, Indonesia, Laos, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Vietnam. A well-balanced mix of AMAs, National Personnel, Development Workers and Integrated Experts, colleagues from GIZ Headquarters (Regional and Sectoral Departments) as well as external speakers made up our guests.
‘Transformative Change for Future-Readiness in Asia and the Pacific – Understand, Envision, Implement’ was chosen as this year’s theme as the Steering Committee agreed that the topic of transformation should be brought to our members’ attention, following the future strategy process conducted in 2020 influenced by the agenda 2030 and digitalisation to make SNRD Asia and the Pacific and TUEWAS future fit. To be “future-ready”, we need to understand what this means for the Asia and the Pacific region, we need to envision how to embrace and promote this change and how to find and implement best solutions.
The Conference agenda consisted of two days of plenaries; one day of small group discussions on current thematic topics and individual sector plenaries; and one day of reflection and networking activities. Via Microsoft Teams, several sessions are livestreamed to include online participants in the hope that the livestreaming would benefit those who could not travel to the venue due to the restriction on the number of physical participants on our part. Likewise, some speakers also joined discussions and gave presentations online, exuding the new normal feel in the room.
Participants were encouraged to discuss topics, trends, challenges, and ideas related to the global paradigm shifts and transformational changes that lie ahead of us which will shape our work and cooperation in the coming years. This includes major political, economic and societal challenges to safeguard our living planet, such as green climate resilience, just transition, building back better and building green and circular economies, halting biodiversity loss and restoring ecosystems. Key cross-cutting topics, such as gender-transformative approaches, digitalisation, strengthening partnerships and alliances, were touched upon to ensure this change happens in an inclusive, effective, and sustainable way. Various methods, including Foresight Radar, Marketplace, Open Space Technology, Panel Discussion, TEDx and Pecha Kucha style presentation, were used to facilitate the exchange.
Here are the links to the results of the discussions and details on the methods. You can continue browsing through all of the presentations, photos and recordings from the Conference here or read more about the event in the Conference report.
We thank all participants for your engagement and contributions. We hope you had a wonderful and productive time during the Conference.

| Energy Efficiency through Digital Data |
|
| Energy team from Peshawar Development Authority attending a training on EnMS. [GIZ Pakistan] |
Providing a sustainable and sufficient energy supply is one of the significant challenges for the Government of Pakistan. Over the recent decades, Pakistani cities have been undergoing rapid urbanisation and economic growth; energy consumption is rising approximately 3.3 per cent annually. To cater to this increase, efficient electricity management and conservation measures in the municipal sectors are necessary to avoid financial and energy losses.
On behalf of BMZ, GIZ is implementing the “Promotion of Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Concepts in Cities and Industry (REEE-SCALE)” project to support partner cities for implementing Energy Management System (EnMS) to create a basis for sustainable improvement of the energy situation.
To help the municipalities to implement EnMS, REEE-SCALE supported the technical staff of partner municipalities to enhance their understanding of energy monitoring and the benefits of using digital methods for recording and analysis. These digital tools provide an overview of all existing load profile and trends and enables the municipalities to adjust their energy efficiency measures accordingly. The municipal staff were also offered insights on low and no-investment energy efficiency and conservation measures. These trainings were attended by the energy teams from the partner municipalities and development authorities of Islamabad, Faisalabad and Peshawar.

| GIZ supports 4 cities for its transformation into 100% RE City |
|
| Fig 1 – Demand Aggregation activities |
The rapid urbanisation and changing lifestyles are increasing the electricity demand in Indian towns and cities. The Central Electricity Authority (Govt. of India) forecasts the peak electricity demand in India to reach 448 GWp by the year 2037. In view of the continuing megatrend of urbanisation and the related energy demand in India, Renewable Energy including PV solar offers an excellent option of a climate-neutral source of energy which can be integrated into the urban space.
The project is envisaged to support India’s vision, to have at least one solar city per state, so that the city's electricity needs are met entirely by solar energy or other renewable energy sources. In this regard, GIZ is providing the planning and implementing assistance to the 4 cities of Gandhinagar (GJ) Ayodhya (UP), Amritsar (PB) and Thiruvananthapuram (KL) for transforming them into 100% RE cities (with high shares of solar PV generation), under the project ‘Integration of Renewable Energies in the Indian Electricity System (I-RE)’.
As per the work plan, GIZ is developing a detailed cross-sectoral city level energy action plan which would assist these cities to follow a cleaner and greener pathway, to reduce greenhouse gases (GHG) and make use of climate related benefits, while achieving other development goals.
Additionally, through the potential assessment, demand aggregation and project implementation support, this project aims to promote distributed solar photovoltaic (PV) systems across the four cities.

The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), Government of India and Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH on India on behalf of the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany have signed an agreement for Indo-German Solar partnership Project (IGSEP). The objective of this project is to support the installation of the solar rooftop PV systems in the State of Gujarat, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Jammu & Kashmir, Daman & Diu and Dadra Nagar Haveli, Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Maharashtra, Arunachal Pradesh and West Bengal. The project IGSEP is supporting MNRE on development of National Solar Rooftop Porta for India.
The Prime Minster (Shri Narendra Modi) launched the National portal for Rooftop solar, which will enable online tracking of the process of installation of rooftop solar plants, starting from registering the applications to release of subsidy in residential consumers’ ('beneficiaries’) bank account after installation and inspection of the plant. The estimated capacity under the national solar rooftop program is 4000 MW. This will be a major step towards realizing the solar rooftop potential of the nation and will contribute towards India’s target to produce 500 GW energy through non-fossil fuels committed in COP-26.

| A local expert listed thermal power plants in Viet Nam at the workshop. [GIZ Viet Nam] |
While coal is often used in Viet Nam’s thermal power plants, the country can save 1 billion US dollars a year if replacing 10 percent of its annual coal import (or 4,000 million tons) with local biomass.
An international expert revealed the figures at a workshop on 6-7 September 2022 in Ninh Binh province. The event focused on local biomass potential, current technologies and co-firing application at thermal power plants.
National speakers summarized criteria evaluation for co-firing technologies and their applicability, outlined their study on local biomass market, and presented fact findings at selected biomass suppliers and thermal power plants.
They updated Viet Nam’s wood pellet production, which can be used at thermal power plants, instead of only selling them abroad. They introduced a case study on co-firing at a local plant, which the participants visited the following day.
The speakers then joined a round discussion on the topics.

| Local governments to tackle waste management through the innovative vermicomposting |
|
| Vermicomposting location in Soutr Nikom district [GIZ / ISD] |
Local governments in Siemreap province under the support of GIZ Cambodia and its development partner, GRET, are leading campaigns locally to raise awareness of the importance of organic waste segregation, its impacts, and how it can be composted properly.
Soutr Nikom district authorities are working on setting up vermicomposting facilities to optimize waste collection and improve practices in waste segregation to produce organic fertilizer in the district. Up to 400 Kg of worms and 5 tons of organic waste are to be converted into fertilizer monthly.
Vermicomposting is a sustainable organic production practice in which worms are used to convert organic waste into fertilizer. Fertilizer through vermicomposting is safer, healthier and requires less energy - thus less greenhouse gases are emitted.
The National Committee for Sub-National Democratic Development Secretariat (NCDDS) and GIZ Cambodia are working closely together to strengthen local governments to take ownership of waste management under the programme “Improved Service Delivery for Citizens in Cambodia” (ISD). Supporting the local government to enrich vermicomposting is one of ISD’s waste components. ISD is financed by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC).

Within the bilateral project “Low Carbon Sea Transport in the Republic of the Marshall Islands” funded by the International Climate Initiative, GIZ has ordered the construction of one Pacific Island supply vessel with an innovative sail propulsion system for climate-neutral ship operations.
With strong local wind conditions, the ship can easily sail around the country with a powerful sailing system that is easy to operate and capable of automation. The power supply for the auxiliary operation is provided by renewable energy sources via photovoltaics, small wind turbines and a shaft generator. A conversion to coconut-based biodiesel can be made possible. In addition to the transport task, the ship will also be used as training platform. This milestone leads the path for the entire Pacific Region for zero emission sea transport.

| Launch of National Logistics Policy for India by Hon’ble Prime Minister Sh. Narendra Modi |
|
The ‘Climate Friendly Freight Transport in India' (Green Freight) project, supported The Logistics Division, Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade, Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Government of India in the preparation of the National Logistics Policy (NLP) - which was launched by the Hon'ble Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi on 17 September 2022 in New Delhi, India. It is also one of the key outcomes of the project.
The NLP was initiated with a vision to develop a technologically enabled, integrated, cost-efficient, resilient, sustainable, and trusted logistics ecosystem in the country for accelerated and inclusive growth.
India is the world’s fifth biggest economy yet has a logistic performance far below many regional and global peers. The NLP aims to bridge this gap. “To ensure quick last-mile delivery, end transport-related challenges, save time and money of the manufacturers, prevent wastage of the agro-products, concerted efforts were made and one of the manifestations of those efforts is today’s National Logistics Policy”, the Prime Minister said addressing the crowd.
The NLP will be implemented through a Comprehensive Logistics Action Plan which includes action areas such as integrated digital logistics systems, human resource development, capacity building, national support for action by cities and states, efficiency, or multimodal logistics parks.
It will boost the profile of logistics as a political issue in India, and it will be the key reference for GIZ India’s ongoing support towards environmental sustainability in the freight and logistics sector.

I am Ria Büsse and I recently joined the project "Promoting the Transformation to Sustainable and Climate-Friendly E-Mobility in India" as an AMA.
I firmly believe that sustainable urban transport has a central role to play in the implementation of the 2030 Agenda and the achievement of the climate goals, which is why I am delighted to be working in the urban and transport context again and to be supporting my new team.
Before joining GIZ India I was Project Coordinator with Engagement Global at the African-German Youth Office, working closely with BMZ. In Uganda and Vietnam, I worked for the civil society and universities. I studied sociology, social science and urban development at the University of Bonn and did my Master's degree in socially sustainable urban development.
