While the activities of this programme are energy-related, they present direct and indirect interlinks with other dimensions of the SDG agenda. In particular, the direct and indirect support to the enabling environment for renewable energy, energy efficiency and clean cooking is a key contribution to reduce energy-related GHG emissions and deforestation. The support to improve financial sustainability and internal reforms of TANESCO will promote private investments and sustainable economic growth. The support to energy data and statistics will contribute to better monitor and assess the partner country's endeavours in the implementation of the SDG agenda. The gender dimension is mainstreamed throughout the different dimensions of the programme, in order to contribute to gender equality and empowerment of women and girls."}, {"bbox": [144, 906, 382, 931], "category": "Section-header", "text": "# 5 IMPLEMENTATION"}, {"bbox": [144, 947, 432, 976], "category": "Section-header", "text": "## 5.1 Financing agreement"}, {"bbox": [144, 988, 1085, 1047], "category": "Text", "text": "In order to implement this action, it is foreseen to conclude a financing agreement with the partner country."}, {"bbox": [144, 1072, 575, 1100], "category": "Section-header", "text": "## 5.2 Indicative implementation period"}, {"bbox": [144, 1112, 1085, 1258], "category": "Text", "text": "The indicative operational implementation period of this action, during which the activities described in section 4 will be carried out and the corresponding contracts and agreements implemented, is 84 months from the date of entry into force of the financing agreement.
