SUSTAINABLE ENERGY FOR ALL STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK FOR RESULTS | 2016-21

The SEforALL Strategic Framework for Results (2016-21) establishes a partnership-based delivery model to accelerate progress toward Sustainable Development Goal 7 and the Paris Agreement. The framework focuses on empowering leaders to broker partnerships and unlock finance, utilizing 'heat maps' to prioritize engagement in high-impact countries. Key priorities include an 'energy efficiency first' approach, scaling up renewables through IRENA's REmap, and ensuring a people-centered transition that prioritizes women and the energy poor. The global team is transitioning into a Quasi-International Organization headquartered in Vienna to improve operational efficiency and governance.

• As of 2012, global progress toward SEforALL's 2030 objectives remained insufficient: 1.1 billion people lacked electricity, 2.9 billion lacked access to clean cooking, and the rate of energy efficiency improvement was only two-thirds of the required 2.6 percent per annum.
• Annual investment flows in 2012 totaled $400 billion, which represents only one-third of the estimated $1.0 to $1.2 trillion per year required to meet all three of SEforALL's 2030 objectives.
• SEforALL utilizes 'heat maps' to strategically prioritize engagement, categorizing countries based on their impact on global goals and their current pace of progress (e.g., 'High impact, fast moving' or 'High impact, not fast moving').
• The framework advocates for an 'energy efficiency first' approach, promoting energy productivity as a tool for economic growth and energy security, with a specific focus on cities as primary locations for accelerating results.
• To scale up renewables, SEforALL leverages IRENA's REmap roadmaps, which provide national and regional strategies to double the share of renewable energy in the global energy mix.
• The strategy emphasizes a people-centered transition to ensure the 'last mile' of the energy poor, particularly women and girls, are not left behind, noting that women in developing countries are 300 times more likely to die from childbirth than those in developed countries due to lack of electricity in health facilities.
• SEforALL aims to unlock finance by developing a robust pipeline of bankable projects and utilizing de-risking instruments to attract private capital, particularly for small-scale and decentralized energy solutions.
• The SEforALL global team is transitioning into a Quasi-International Organization (QIO) under Austrian Law, headquartered in Vienna, to provide a flexible governance structure for both State and non-State actors.
• The framework proposes two funding scenarios for the global team: a current 'Islands of Leadership' model at $5 million per annum, and a proposed 'Building a Global Movement' model requiring $20 million per annum.
