This document discusses monitoring and evaluation of national energy efficiency action plans in Arab countries. It provides an overview of key concepts in energy efficiency policy including purpose, dynamics, and the policy cycle. Barriers to energy efficiency in the region are identified, and a tailored monitoring and evaluation approach is recommended using both top-down and bottom-up methods. Energy efficiency targets and relevant indicators for the region are presented. The Regional Center for Renewable Energy and Efficiency will play a supporting role in drawing up national plans, implementing the Arab energy efficiency guideline, and regular monitoring and reporting.

6. While designing the monitoring and evaluation system for the region
An important question should be addressed:
What makes Arab EE Guideline implementation is difficult in the region..?
The EE market have been characterized by
Week demand for EE services and products,
the absence of market development tools and measures
and underdeveloped supply leave the market stuck in a deadlock
Tailored –made approach for Monitoring and Evaluation system
is highly needed for the region

8. Monitoring and Evaluation Methodology
Monitoring and Evaluation system
is needed not only for the policy implementation and evaluation
but also when developing the NEEAP itself.
Main methodological challenge related to NEEAP is to
assess relationship between potentials, targets and effects of measures

10. EE targets in the Region
Countries Date of Achieving Target
Algeria (2007-2011) 1% per year
(2020) 12%
Morocco
(2030) 15%
Tunisia (2011) 20%
Egypt (2022) 8.3%
Jordan
(2020) 20%
Yemen
(2025) 15% in Power sector

11. The need to EE Indicators
Energy Security
Long term policies on EE
Dependency
Policy design and monitoring require the use of relevant
indicators to optimize decision making and assessing
policy choice at both global and sector level

12. Energy intensities for Member States

(kgoe/$US GDP years, real or current
The energy intensity of an economy depends strongly on the
structure of the economy;
Economies that emphasize heavy industry will normally have higher
energy intensities than economies that are characterized by high
value added businesses and services.
Energy intensity is mainly useful to examine trends; and it is not a
value judgment on the performance of EE.

15. RCREEE Direct Activities to Support
the Arab EE Guideline
Support drawing NEEAPs for all member states
Support the guideline Implementation, evaluation
and reporting (Watch Role)
www.rcreee.org

16. Support drawing NEEAPs
Coordination plan (MED-EMIP, MED-ENEC, LAS,
ESCWA and RCREEE) to support countries to draw a
3 year (NEEAP)
1. Prepare NEEAP Template
2. Workshop “National plans for energy regional
challenges” Tunisia July, 2010
3. National workshops, Ministerial Meetings, National
events and consultancy services Lebanon, Jordan,
Syria, Libya, Algeria, Morocco and Egypt
www.rcreee.org

17. Support the guideline Implementation
(watch role of RCREEE)
RCREEE will play the watch role for implementing and
evaluating the NEEAPs
• Tunisia workshop recommended “To request a regional
institution to monitor the qualitative progress and
quantitative impact of national energy efficiency action
plans (NEEAP) and to publish regularly an annual report
about its findings to be widely distributed and discussed
through the stakeholders’ networks”
• Resolution of the last EE workgroup and then the RE&EE
Experts Committee meeting that RCREEE will be this
regional institution
www.rcreee.org

18. Objectives
• RCREEE to provide most efficient support to LAS in the field of the
implementation of the Arab EE directive.
• This includes regular monitoring and reporting activities addressing
authorities and the public as well as consulting and training.
• Developing evaluation methodology and finding criteria for the
screening and the evaluation of National Energy Efficiency Action Plans
(NEEAP) and defining the content, structure and format of the outcome
and reports
• Awareness raising through disseminating of study findings:
1. Supporting awareness raising on the energy efficiency through
communication elements (newsletter, press releases), expert
articles and media campaigns
2. Organizing meetings and events 2011-2013
