Monitoring & Evaluation

Monitoring and evaluation shows — with evidence, not anecdotes — whether a programme delivers reliable electricity, value for money and real development impact, and what to fix while there is still time and budget.

Indicators and a baseline are set before construction. Technical monitoring tracks energy generated and sold, plant availability and downtime, hours of supply and voltage and frequency quality; commercial monitoring tracks connections, collection rate and revenue against operating cost. Access is assessed by quality, not as a simple connected-or-not: the ESMAP Multi-Tier Framework grades capacity, availability, reliability, quality, affordability, formality and safety from Tier 0 (no access) to Tier 5 (full access). Impact surveys cover lighting, study time, income and productive use, kerosene and diesel displaced, and school and clinic services. Mid-term and final evaluations compare results against the baseline, and the findings feed back into tariffs, maintenance support and the design of the next phase.

• Indicator set and baseline before construction
• Technical monitoring: energy, availability, power quality
• Commercial monitoring: connections, billing, cost recovery
• Household and impact surveys; access-tier assessment
• Periodic and final evaluations with corrective actions

What you receive: a monitoring and evaluation framework, baseline, mid-term and final evaluation reports, periodic performance reports per plant and for the programme, and lessons-learned with corrective-action recommendations.
