For the period 2014-2018 The Netherlands will continue to support successful interventions like the Africa Biogas Partnership Program, (tentatively) the Energizing Development Program, ESMAP, ASTAE, (tentatively) Deutsche Bank's Working Capital Fund, and (tentatively) the strengthening of national capacities in 3 Alliance focus countries.
