Abstract:	This paper describes the aims, objectives and progress to date of Task 9 of the International Energy Agency's Photovoltaic Power Systems Programme. The overall mission of the IEA  PVPS Programme is to encourage international collaboration efforts through which photovoltaic energy becomes a significant option in the near future. The objective of Task 9 is to further increase the overall rate of successful deployment of PV systems in developing countries where PV is often the only viable option for remote electrification. Task 9 is therefore exploring the possibilities for, and scope of, cooperation with developing countries and international financial institutions. The following countries are actively participating in the work of the Task: Australia, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States of America. The United Nations Development Programme and the World Bank also participate in Task 9.
