SAMSET - Model Inputs

SAMSET LEAP model inputs preparation in Excel.Urbanisation rates in Africa are the highest in the world, and in
most Sub-Saharan countries service delivery is inadequate to keep up
with the needs. African populations remain amongst the poorest in the
world, and efforts to achieve the energy-related dimensions of the
Millennium Development Goals s have in most cases not had significant
impact on urban populations.
The situation can be summarised as one where much urban energy
transformation research does not understand the detailed organisational
dynamics and constraints in cities and therefore is often of limited
use; where there is a gap between policy and implementation; where
capacity within local/national government departments involved in energy
and urban development is inadequate in the face of increasing
challenges; and where modes of knowledge transfer are not effective in
facilitating sustainable energy transitions in cities.
SAMSET seeks to develop a knowledge exchange framework for supporting
local and national bodies involved in municipal energy planning in the
effective transition to sustainable energy use in urban areas. Through
close partnering with six cities in three African countries (Ghana,
Uganda and South Africa), the project aims to develop an information
base from which to support cities, undertake direct support for cities
around strategy development and priority initiatives, and facilitate
knowledge exchange and capacity building.

SAMSET LEAP模型输入准备于Excel中。非洲城市化率位居世界之最，而在大多数撒哈拉以南国家，服务水平无法满足日益增长的需求。非洲人口依旧处于世界贫困水平之列，实现千年发展目标中与能源相关的维度，在多数情况下对城市人口的影响并不显著。当前局势可概括为：大量城市能源转型研究未能充分理解城市内部的细致组织动态与制约因素，因此其应用价值往往有限；政策制定与实施之间存在鸿沟；面对日益严峻的挑战，能源和城市发展相关的政府部门能力不足；以及知识转移方式在促进城市可持续能源转型方面效果不佳。SAMSET旨在为支持参与城市能源规划的地方和国家级机构提供一个知识交流框架，以辅助城市实现向可持续能源使用的有效过渡。通过与三个非洲国家（加纳、乌干达和南非）的六座城市紧密合作，该项目旨在建立一个信息库，用以支持城市，直接为城市在战略发展和优先举措方面提供支持，并促进知识交流和能力建设。
