The overall objective of the Project is to ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern energy for all in Tanzania. The specific objective is to fast track a first set of eight key Energy Efficiency actions and to prepare a comprehensive updated Energy Efficiency Action Plan in line with the Tanzania Energy Efficiency Strategy (TEES) which will be developed as well. The TEES to be developed will covers Energy Efficiency in all energy demand sectors (industry and utilities, transport, households, and buildings) with quantifiable Energy Efficiency targets for households, industry, and water supply sectors and to support the implementation of the National Energy Policy and strategic goals set by the Tanzania National Development Vision 2025 in making the Energy Efficiency one of the backbones of the economic and social development of the country.

The TEES could among others, aimed at achieving strategic objectives such as:

(a) Improving Energy Efficiency in charcoal and firewood consumption,

(b) Improving Energy Efficiency in industry and public utilities,

(c) Improving Energy Efficiency on transport sector,

(d) Improving Energy Efficiency in buildings,

(e) Implementing cross-cutting measures supporting Energy Efficiency.
