The Southeast Asia Energy Transition Partnership (ETP) brings together governments, philanthropies and other partners to work towards modern, sustainable energy systems. It focuses on Indonesia, the Philippines and Vietnam, which have the highest energy demand, a pipeline of fossil fuel-based projects, and potential for renewable energy and energy efficiency. ETP provides technical advice, support on financing, capacity and skill development, and dialogue facilitation.

This evaluation includes identifying gaps in subordinate regulations, proposing new analyses and assessments to address these gaps, outlining specific guidelines and mechanisms for effective regulation implementation, and formulating actionable recommendations for the government.
