Overview

The Impact Monitoring Group of Energising Development has developed recommendations for sound impact assessments.

We recommend to:

  • use the recommended list of indicators
  • conduct baseline studies before project intervention and impact studies after households, social infrastructure or SMEs received access to modern energy
  • use a theory based approach by applying the result chain for developing the study design
  • use a mixed methods approach: the logic of the comparative advantages of methods: i.e. the mix of quantitative (standardised household interviews) and qualitative methods (open / semi-structured interviews with key persons and households or focus group discussions)
  • include, wherever possible, control groups (households which do not have acces to modern energy) into your baseline and impact study
  • consider research ethics

The following tables show in more detail typical steps for baseline and impact studies, which we furthermore recommend and support.
