Transcript Development and Energy in Africa (DEA)

Development and Energy in Africa (DEA) - Achievements
• Most energy projects monitor and evaluate only the immediate
outputs
• DEA attempts to extend M&E downstream to assess outcomes and
contributions to MDGs
• We have developed an assessment framework (AF) for outcomes
and impacts of energy interventions
•
•
•
•
Catalogue of energy interventions in the 6 countries
Stakeholder consultations – needs and expectations
7 case studies in 6 countries – spread of types
Quantitative and qualitative documentation of outcomes and
development impacts
• Successful testing of the AF, demonstration as a useful tool
DEA – The way forward
• An assessment methodology developed in collaboration between the
EU and African partners, guided by stakeholder needs, national
realities and real energy projects
•

•
Strong links to the international M&EED group
AF Guidelines Manual under preparation
Training/Dissemination seminars in the 6 countries + region
Engagement with Stakeholders – incorporation of M&E in
mainstream of energy planning and implementation
• How can M&E assessing outcomes and impacts be encouraged and
incorporated more in African energy projects, and to what benefit?
• How can we link the DEA approach to other COOPENER projects
and other EU energy sector assistance?
