Regional : Supporting Participation in the Pacific Energy Summit
ADB is providing a regional small-scale capacity development technical assistance (R-S-PATA) to support the delivery of the Pacific Energy Summit (PES) to be held in Auckland, New Zealand from 26-28 March 2013.
The R-S-PATA will produce the following outputs: (i) renewable energy road maps, (ii) project briefs for renewable energy development, and (iii) support and coordination to PES participants during the event. ADB will prepare these outputs for the Federated States of Micronesia, Nauru, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, and Solomon Islands. Other development partners that are supporting the event will prepare additional road maps and project briefs for other Pacific island countries, so that coverage of the event is region-wide. Delivery of outputs should be submitted on or before mid March 2013.
