It is anticipated that through Task 9 there will be a further increase in the overall rate of successful deployment of PV systems in developing countries through increased cooperation between international financing institutions and developing countries, and through a greater understanding and awareness of the issues pertinent to sustainable PV programmes.  . . .

Task 9 prepared a paper which was submitted by PVPS to the G8 Renewable Energy Task Force in October 2000. The PVPS submission to the G8 Task Force was well received and clearly influenced . . .

The processes by which finance can be obtained from the World Bank Group, bi-lateral donors, utilities etc will be identified and summarised. The guides are being authored by the USA with input from Australia, Germany and the UK. 5. CONCLUSION Task 9 is progressing to schedule and is encouraging the use of PV, as a renewable energy option, in developing countries where PV is often the only viable option for remote electrification for meeting development needs.
