The geographic scope of this program includes allSub-Saharan African countries. The appliances supported under this program include: Water pumps, Ag-processing machinery, cold storage, clean cookstoves.
The Gender RBF pilot will be implemented over a 13-month period. Once the program has officially launched after the onboarding of selected participants, companies will have a six-month appliance sales period during which they can sell the appliances that could be eligible to receive a subsidy under this program. The company will be expected to fill out a brief pre-sale survey at the point of sale. This will be followed by an outcome verification period that of six months based on when the appliance is sold. During this period, we require the company to share monthly usage data from the appliance(either through remote monitoring or other methods of data collection that are verifiable by the program – for example, in the case of clean cooking, billing statements that show fuel top ups for the appliance). At the end of the monitoring period, the company will be expected to conduct a brief post-sale survey which is to be submitted within one month of the end of the monitoring period at the latest.
The program appreciates that for high value appliances such as large ag-processing appliances, cold storage, etc., distributors may not be targeting their sales to women / women groups (the key end-users for thisRBF program). As such, we will also be providing customized technical assistance (TA) to select companies to improve sales to women and women groups and would encourage companies that are not currently focusing on this customer segment to apply.
