Development and Energy in Africa (DEA) -
Achievements

• Most energy projects monitor and evaluate only

  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 MEED group
• AF Guidelines Manual under preparation
• Training/Dissemination seminars in the 6
  countries region
• Engagement with Stakeholders incorporation of
  ME in mainstream of energy planning and
  implementation
• How can ME 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?
