Indicator Rural Electrification and Stoves

From energypedia

Overview

Two lists are presented: The list for programmes or projects promoting rural electrification (RE) and the list for those projects promoting the access to improved cooking stoves (ICS).

Those programmes dealing with both aspects may combine the two lists.

Indicator for Rural Electrification (RE)

The observation fields of expected impacts are supplemented with indicators and sub-indicators (“What to measure”) that represent options for possible choices to be made by the project. Recommended observation fields as a minimum selection of essential impacts to be observed are coloured in orange. For the RE projects essential sub-indicators are marked in blue.

The Indicators are structured according to the respective beneficiaries, who are represented by the following four groups: Households (HH), Micro and Small Enterprises (MSE), Social Infrastructure (SI), and Stove Producers (SP).



Essential Indicator (RE)

(if a single indicator can not be applied, an alternative indicator from the same observation field has to be chosen)



Essential Observation field (Stoves)

(any of the given indicators may be applied; the project may also define its own indicator for this observation field)
