You are required to write a ~1400 word essay about NGOs.
What role do NGOs play in developing energy policy, and what strategies do NGOs adopt to effect change.
Please use case studies from the Oceania and Asia region.

The following is the marking criteria, to be used as a guideline: Argument: Is there a clearly stated and sustained argument? Does the essay answer the question? Research: Is the research drawn from an adequate variety of sources including those that are academic and refereed? Organisation: Is there a logical structure, clear introduction and good integration of sources? Is the essay properly formatted with line space 1.5, adequate and consistent font size and within 10 percent either side of the word limit (excluding references)? Balance: Have the subject matter and sources been treated fairly? Is the essay sufficiently critical? Are counter arguments addressed? Expression: Is the style, grammar and general use of English adequate? Are sentences and paragraphs properly constructed? Referencing: Are sources properly acknowledged and documented in both the text and reference list?
