Modern energy services are a key enabler for human wellbeing and economic development.

I moderni servizi energetici sono un fattore chiave per il benessere umano e lo sviluppo economico. L'accesso all'energia elettrica e l’affidabilità del sistema elettrico rappresentano una delle maggiori sfide del nostro tempo e sono questioni critiche soprattutto in un situazioni di emergenza e ricostruzione post-disastro. Lo United Nations Development Program svolge diversi progetti finalizzati ad aumentare la resilienza e la capacità di reazione dei paesi in via di sviluppo in caso di crisi. Per rispondere a questa esigenza, l'unità UNDP OIMT CIAS di Copenaghen ha sviluppato il progetto 7 Steps Solution, implementato per la prima volta in occasione dell'epidemia di Ebola del Febbraio 2014 verificatasi in Liberia, Guinea e Sierra Leone. L'obiettivo di questa tesi è valutare le prestazioni attuali delle tre installazioni pilota del progetto 7 Steps, proponendone un'ottimizzazione e una selezionando una strategia di investimento basata su un’analisi che includa i risultati intangibili del progetto. Inoltre, a partire dai risultati ottenuti da tale analisi, è stato possibile eseguire una valutazione ex-post delle tre installazioni pilota e delle prestazioni strategiche del progetto 7 Steps, dimostrandone l'efficacia in contesti di crisi e ricostruzione.

Abstract
Modern energy services are a key enabler for human wellbeing and economic development. The Access to electric energy still represents one of the major challenges of our time, and together with the reliability of the energy system itself, they remain critical issues especially in a framework of emergency situations and post-disaster recovery. The United Nations Development Program carries out different projects in order to increase countries’ resilience and capacity to react in case of crises. Based on this aspect, the UNDP OIMT CIAS unit in Copenhagen has developed the so called 7 Steps Solution procedure. This project has been implemented for the first time in occurrence of the Ebola virus outbreak of February 2014 in Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone’s Country Offices. The objective of this thesis is to assess the current performances of the three pilot installations, proposing an optimization of the three systems and a comprehensive strategy selection. Starting from the results obtained from the comprehensive strategies’ analysis, a comprehensive ex-post evaluation of the pilots and a review of the strategic performances of the 7 Steps project have been performed, demonstrating the efficacy and the effectiveness of the procedure.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
