  3. ELI Global Workshop: Ground Rules • Facilitators, NOT SPEAKERS • Interactive, NOT PASSIVE • Question our approaches and our assumptions • There are no failures and no wrong answers • Facilitators start sessions at 5 minutes after • Keep on topic -- use the parking lot • Designated timekeeper -- group decision to stray from agenda

  4. ELI Global Workshop: OTHER Ground Rules • ??? Group suggestions ???

  5. The ELI Strategy: Keep Our Eye on the Goal • Focus on sustained, long-term impact • Program evaluation looks at fundamental market function before program vs. 2 Years post-program • Leverage comes from understanding and supporting the Market Function • Indicators of Success • product availability, price, availability of financing, capacity to deliver efficient lighting services and products, consumer awareness and attitude

  6. ELI Objectives: The GEF Perspective • Demonstration effect: ELI as experiment • Build a replicable model … or modelS • Multi-country program experiment • Maximize Greenhouse Gas Reductions • Cost-effective GHG Reductions • Economic Development (IFC) • Sustainable impact through barrier removal • Leverage the GEF $$

  7. Our Personal Motivations • Local pollution mitigation • Economic development • Social equity • Rationalizing the market • Personal challenge • Innovative, cutting-edge global initiative • Building a successful model for the world • What do YOU want to achieve with ELI???

  8. ELI Operating Principles - I • IFC retains final responsibility for and authority over ELI. • ELI relies on local contractors to implement the project. Local implementers will work with appropriate levels of autonomy to enable learning, capacity building, and strategies which reflect local conditions. • ELI seeks to build local capacityin all areas of program activity in each ELI country.

  9. ELI Operating Principles II • ELI will encourage communications among participant countries, as a way of sharing experience and information. • ELI will seek to involve various stakeholder groups in the design and implementation of its activities. • ELI funds will never be used to curry political favor or for purposes of bribery.

  10. Using the Market Dynamic

  11. Moving the Market • All we can do is remove barriers • The market players must do the work • ELI must understand their motivations and help them to be more successful in using efficient lighting to meet their goals Utilities, distributors, retailers Consumers Manufacturers

  12. Working with Manufacturers I • Opportunities to leverage ELI funds • marketing campaigns, point-of-sale displays, professional education, retailer/distributor educ. • Lower barriers to entry • in the program (low cost product testing, bidding responses) • in the ELI country markets

  13. Working with Manufacturers II • No direct payments to manufacturers • Direct private company support politically sensitive • Perceived unequal support will kill ELI credibility • Equal access required for any ELI support • ELI should not distort the market, it should catalyze the market dynamic

  14. Working with Utilities • Leverage ELI money and access • technical support and political influence with regulators • technical support for developing utility investment • Understand the utility interests and use lighting technology to address those concerns • Always consider the long-term impact on the market of an expanded utility role • need to nurture retail channels, not bypass them

  15. ELI’s Toolkit: Crosscutting Activities • Global leverage on the industry • ELI represents 7 markets -- we have the industry’s attention • Opportunities for aggregating the ELI country market impact globally -- the ELI brand • Efficiency -- no need to reinvent the wheel • Bidding documents, market assessment templates, product testing procedures, available between countries • ELI Website -- It is ours to use and modify!

  16. ELI’s Toolkit: Monitoring and Evaluation • M&E is a TOOL -- not the police! USE IT. • Real-time feedback on impact • Engage the M&E team to provide the info you need • ELI is an experiment • It is our responsibility to identify what works … and what doesn’t -- and teach others

  17. ELI’s Toolkit: The ELI Logo • The ELI Brand will be able to compete with the Big 3 -- and inspire them • The ELI Brand will provide a vehicle of entry into the market for legitimate providers of quality products BUT... • We will need to protect the Brand • We will need to sustain the Brand

  18. Making the ELI Brand User-Friendly • Low-cost access • Performance-based specifications • Uniform international logo / Consistent specs

  19. ELI Toolkit: The IFC • IFC links to local financial institutions • IFC credibility and access • policy-makers • international institutions • local industry investee companies • Capital access

  20. ELI Toolkit: Targeted Subsidies • Only for opportunities where one-time, short-term subsidies will yield long-term price reduction • Use strategically to leverage other resources • Access to subsidy cannot be exclusive • use competitive dynamic to find the highest leverage beneficiaries

ELI Toolkit: Technical Support • Market transformation activities globally • crosscutting activities implementor (IIEC) • IFC management team • Project finance and transaction support (John MacLean) • Technical specification and product quality (Chris Granda) • Utility DSM (Ted Flanigan) • Other -- as needed
