UN Development Program to Support Energy Sector in Cuba

Havana, July 11 (acn) The UN Development Programme (UNDP) will support 
Cuba's energy sector, stated Susan McDade, resident representative of 
that institution in Cuba.

In statements to ACN, Mc Dade said one of the UNDP cooperation programs 
for 2008-2012 period will support the rational and efficient use of 
energy in Cuba. She added that other areas of cooperation on 
environmental issues contained in the 1987 Montreal Protocol will 
include protected areas, community development, soil management and the 
elimination of substances that deplete the ozone layer.

The UN coordinator explained that funds will be spent on equipment, 
supplies, training, and studies. She also praised the scientific rigor 
of Cuban experts in cooperation programs undertaken in Cuba by the UNDP 
for three decades now.

Since its creation in 1966, the United Nations Development Programme 
has played an active role in the UN actions to encourage sustainable 
development in every nation.
