UN AGENCY-PRIVATE SECTOR VENTURE BUILDS ON 'EXTEND THE DAY AND EXTEND
PLAY' PROJECT IN AFRICANew York, Jun 3 2013 5:00PMThe United Nations
industrial development agency is teaming with one of the largest
lighting manufactures in the world to bring light to rural Africa in
support of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and the
Secretary-General's Sustainable Energy for All initiative.

"The joint declaration commits UNIDO and Philips to cooperate to
promote rural access to energy and energy efficiency for productive
activities, technology transfer and access to renewable energy
solutions through solar-powered LED technologies, in particular in
Ghana, Kenya and South Africa," according to a joint press release by
the UN Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) and the company,
Royal Philips.

Representatives from UNIDO and Philips
<"http://www.unido.org/media-centre/press-releases/news/article/date/2013/06/03/unido-and-philips-to-collaborate-on-innovative-led-lighting-solutions-for-poverty-reduction-in-afric.html#pp1[g1]/0/">said
they will identify suitable projects related to those areas and work
together on an annual basis.

The declaration was signed by Philippe Scholtès, Officer-in-Charge of
UNIDO's Programme Development and Technical Cooperation Division, and
Harry Verhaar, Head of Global Public and Government Affairs, Philips
Lighting, on the margins of the three-day Vienna Energy Forum
organized by UNIDO with Austrian authorities and the Intentional
Institute for Applied System Analysis (IIASA).

It "expresses the two organization's intention to facilitate close
cooperation regarding the Community Light Centres Programme in
Africa," according to the news release.

The programme underway by Philips consists of installing more than a
hundred Community Light Centres of approximately 1000 meters squared,
or the size of a small soccer pitch, across Africa using a new
generation of efficient solar-powered LED lighting, the news release
denotes.

The concept of the Light Centres is to create areas of light for rural
communities, which live without electricity, thus effectively
'extending the day and extending play,' to create opportunities for
social, sporting and economic activities in the evening.

Joint partnerships between UNIDO and Philips are due to support
progress on the eight anti-poverty targets known as the MDGs which
have a deadline of December 2015.

Mutual projects will also contribute to the achievement of the UN
Secretary-General's Sustainable Energy for All initiative, which aims
at achieving three inter-linked global targets by 2030: universal
access to modern energy services; the doubling of energy efficiency;
and the doubling of the share of renewable energy in the world's
energy mix.

UNIDO and Philips signed a Memorandum of Understanding in September
2011 stipulating a joint interest in engaging on sustainable and
inclusive industrial development, UNIDO said.Jun 3 2013 5:00PM
