Small Island Developing States (SIDS) are generally small in population and land area, with fragile ecologies, and face diverse and distinct development trajectories. Many SIDS face common structural and fiscal development challenges including lack of economic diversification, inadequate social protections and inclusion, heavy debt and overdependency on imported fossil fuels. Further, their small size and geographies make SIDS extremely vulnerable to the impacts of climate change.
UNDP’s integrated SIDS offer Rising Up for SIDS articulates a clear strategy to respond to their most pressing needs as well as bring forth innovative solutions to the complex developmental challenges they face for a better future for people and planet. It acts as a vehicle for recovery committing to enhancing current support in areas of climate action, blue economy and digital transformation, with innovative development finance as an enabling cross-cutting area
This International Energy Agency report addresses the challenge of mobilizing investment and finance to support clean energy transitions in the emerging and developing world.

This working paper is based on the EDM Toolkit, first published in 2017, an innovative technical approach for inclusive and integrated energy planning for local governments. In 2018 IIED and CAFOD, with local partners, Caritas Kitui and the Kitui County government in Kenya, applied EDM in Kitui to develop investment-ready solutions for the Kitui County Energy Plan (CEP). It focuses on the methodology used in developing the CEP rather than the proposed solutions as the CEP is still in draft form and yet to be finalized by the county government of Kitui.
