As such, the study calls for the creation of an Energy Efficiency Action Network (EEFAN),38 an international platform to enable regular co-operation and information sharing between the public and private sectors. The absence of micro-level data on energy use and investments significantly undermines policy-makers' abilities to take informed decisions and implement most effective policies. This study was able to provide insights into the realities of EE markets by conducting a series of surveys and one-on-one interviews with financial institutions and stakeholders in the market.
