Templates for SEW Observer-Reporters
Introduction
Each Observer-Reporter will receive an electronic version of the Manual
and this template by e-mail. Both reports are also available from the
Secretariat on diskette upon request (please specify your computer platform
type-PC or Mac-and your word processing software). The Manual
and this template are also available as downloadable files on the HELIO
website "http://www.helio-international.org".
For those Observer-Reporters who do not have access to a computer,
the template can be completed with a typewriter or handwritten on the
following template pages.
Observer-Reporters should not change the format. Readers can better
compare country reports if the format and sequence outlined here is
followed. The suggested page length is intended as guidance only; however,
the objective is to have concise, consistent, and comparable reports.
Once the country report is completed please forward it to your Node
Coordinator and the HELIO Secretariat in Paris.
This report-and the regional and global reports that comprise the work
of the Sustainable Energy Watch (SEW)-is intended to foster debate and
action in support of sustainability in the energy sector, the environment,
and the economy.
Please contact the HELIO Secretariat if you have any questions or comments.

Use this table to summarise the results for each indicator. "Metric"
refers to the physical or financial data used in calculating each vector
(for example: in Indicator The vector is calculated for each indicator
and is typically a number in the "0"to "1" range (although some countries
will frequently exceed "1").  top

Introduction
Discuss here if this is your country's first SEW report, list
its principal authors & contributors, their address, telephone, fax,
and email, and brief biographic information or affiliation. Discuss the
report's completeness, especially if one or more indicators could not
be reported on and why, and major problems in finding the needed statistics
or calculating the vectors.
General discussion of your country
SEWgraphic overview, primary energy, water, and mineral resources,
state of development, main imports and exports, rate of population growth,
literacy and education, urbanization, income and equity issues, principal
environmental pressures, greatest social concerns that you think useful
to briefly describe (gender issues, nutrition, food adequacy for the nation's
poorest, public health, political freedoms, etc.). You may also discuss
UNDP's Human Development Index for your country (see this Manual's Appendix).
Be creative and concise.
Other Energy-Related Developments
Discuss other important developments, especially those related
to the indicators. Discuss your country's use of traditional fuels such
as wood, biomass, and charcoal. Discuss energy developments such as hydropower
projects and their impacts on the environment and indigenous peoples.
Discuss related policy, legislation, and regulatory changes as well as
your country's overall energy policies and objectives. Mention major international
financial investments and related projects. Discuss energy sector or incidents.

Discussion
Refer to the discussion in Book One of this Manual for
guidance on how to construct your country's Star.
Reporter's Conclusions on all Indicators
Discuss here your conclusions about the indicators, vectors, and
Star. Draw conclusions about the improvement in the sustainability of
any of the indicators. Reflect on the overall trend in any of the indicators
or the set as a whole. Mention significant policy shifts or other developments
that may affect any of the indicators in the future. Be creative.
Recommendations to the SEW
Discuss your observations about the process of acquiring data
and other needed information. Comments about the applicability of SEW's
indicators to your country's situation are especially useful. Please also
make suggestions about how the indicators and their calculation, the construction
of the Star, and this Manual can be improved.
Notes to Future Observer-Reporters
This section is intended for the current year's Observer-Reporter
to pass along to subsequent Observer-Reporters any notes on the process,
helpful hints, and especially useful sources. You may wish to document
where your background notes and calculations are kept, or any thoughts
that might make next year's process easier.
References and Other Sources
List here your principal reference sources, including agencies
and persons, and contact information and location if useful.
