EAC Energy Security Policy Framework

The energy security policy framework for the East African Community is intended to provide policy guidance towards better understanding, measurement, monitoring, evaluation and management of energy security risks and challenges in the region’s energy sector.

The framework develops models for energy security monitoring, assessment and management in the biomass, oil and gas and electricity sub-sectors through an integrated overall energy security management approach. It employs well-known energy security metrics, such as in the oil and gas sub-sector, as well as new dimensions to energy security management in the biomass and electricity sub-sectors.

The framework proposes an institutional framework for monitoring, evaluating and reporting functions for biomass, electricity and oil and gas supply security and the coordination of decisions and directives for overall energy security management and emergency responses.
