The objective of the Initiative is to contribute to providing the access to energy necessary for the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals, particularly, but not exclusively, that of halving the number of people in extreme poverty by the year 2015. This objective will be achieved within the context of activities driven by participating developing countries, through the provision of adequate, affordable, sustainable energy services.

The Initiative enables the EU and its developing country partners, to work together in partnership with the private sector, financial institutions and civil society to achieve effective improvement of the energy situation in partner countries. It works through a demand-led approach that involves both government-to-government liaison and local participation. Ownership of activities by the partner country is a key feature. The government-to-government liaison is based around dialogue, formalisation of responsibilities and action from national governments. Local participation will be encouraged from end-users, communities, businesses and other stakeholders in both the planning and implementation stages.
