Country applications: the policy cycleA problem reaches the agenda, options are formulated and appraised, consultation tests them, the mandate holder decides, implementation and monitoring follow, and evaluation feeds the next agenda. Design of the process, not a record of a run.

01In brief

The short answer.

Energy Nexus country applications are the national parts of its work on energy, each linked to a national programme and the national source register. A country page shows only work that a programme record supports, and the national institutions own the question, the data and the decision.

02Geography

Energy demand and corridors in Indonesia.

Where demand concentrates in cities and the rail, road and port corridors that move fuel and equipment, shown for Indonesia as an example geography for this subject.
