Recruitment of Manager- Media / Awareness for BEE-World Bank-GEF

"Programmatic Framework Project for Energy Efficiency in India" 

TERMS OF REFERENCE 

Project background: 

India has nearly three million small and medium enterprises (SMEs) which constitute more than 75 percent of the total number of industrial enterprises in the country. According to estimates by the Indian Institute of Foreign Trade, approximately 60 percent of the country’s GDP comes directly or indirectly from SMEs. The 2006 Integrated Energy Policy Report of the Planning Commission noted that lowering the energy intensity of GDP growth through higher energy efficiency is an important element for meeting India’s future energy challenges and ensuring its energy security. Currently, India consumes 0.16 kg of oil equivalent (kgoe) per dollar of GDP expressed in purchasing power parity terms, and its CO2 intensity per GDP (adjusted for PPP) has shown a slight decline over time. Numerous sector-specific studies have confirmed that energy intensity in industry can be further reduced with the widespread adoption of commercially available technologies to improve energy efficiency, producing significant aggregate impacts and global benefits from reduced emissions of Greenhouse Gases, and that there is an especially high unrealized potential for improvement in the Indian SME sector. 

To enhance synergies and improve effectiveness of the Global Environment Facility (GEF) portfolio of programs, the World Bank took the lead in working with the GOI, key Ministerial stakeholders, and GEF implementing agencies (UNDP, UNIDO) to develop a Programmatic Framework for Energy Efficiency (EE) in India, which defined a wide program of assistance for GEF support to the GOI under the current Resource Allocation Framework for India.
