Overall Summary: 
The Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Programme (REEEP) (Former Sustainable Energy for Development (SED) Programme), supported by the Ministry of Power, Energy, and Mineral Resources and the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) implemented by the Deutsche Gesellschaft fuer Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH, is working to address the energy needs of Bangladesh. Towards this aim it promotes the use of renewable energy, as well as efficient use of energy. This is done by improving the framework conditions towards building markets for sustainable energy solutions through building capacities of relevant stakeholders, promoting the appli cation of energy efficient (EE) technologies and technologies for the generation of renewable energy (RE).
Access
Bi-, multi-lateral mechanisms to expand access: 
To build up the lantern market, GIZ Bangladesh's Energising Development (EnDev) programme with co-financing from DFID solar lanterns commercial enterprises will be subsidised through buy down grant. These lithium-Ion and NIM H based small system will ensure a smaller environmental footprint and a re within the financial reach of the poor. These systems will be able to light the huts of the poor people living off-grid and underserved communities cleaner, who are now dependent on traditional kerosene lanterns.
