| Summary: | Reforming subsidies can be a complex and
politically difficult process. Countries embarking on this
journey underline the need for understanding the political
context of reform, crafting the right energy pricing,
designing solutions that mitigate the adverse impacts of
reform on affected populations, and engaging with citizens.
The Energy Subsidy Reform Assessment Framework (ESRAF) is a
comprehensive analytical toolkit and assessment framework
for helping countries to achieve politically and socially
sustainable reforms. It highlights issues, tools and
practices to help identify, analyze and facilitate a
comprehensive reform of energy subsidies. It also outlines
analytical approaches to diagnose the impacts of energy
subsidies, including their effect on energy consumption,
emissions, and health. Finally, it explains how to better
understand the political context of reform, consult with
stakeholders and engage with the public, and it proposes a
checklist for rapid diagnostics to aid and guide the reform process. |
