Summary

USAID must support policies and programs in developing countries that promote clean, efficient energy technologies. The goals are to create market conditions so private companies can offer energy and environmental services; help countries accept technologies that cut greenhouse gas emissions by improving rules, laws, and regulations, building local institutions’ skills, and raising public awareness and participation; and encourage the use of American-made technologies, products, and services. USAID must send an annual report to the appropriate congressional committees for each fiscal year 2008 through 2012. Congress authorized $200,000,000 for USAID for each of those fiscal years to carry out this work.
