The Electricity Governance Initiative's work was featured at the 12th annual Poverty Environment Partnership (PEP) meeting on November 19th (http://www.povertyenvironment.net/pep/ [1]). The overall theme of the meeting was: "Infrastrucutre, growth and poverty reduction: The Role of Ecosystems and Natural Resources." EGI's work is clearly linked to this theme and was a great addition to the proceedings. The presentation focused on managing trade offs in electricity, oil and gas.
