Impact Monitoring Guidelines

Revision as of 15:50, 1 December 2010

The focus of the EnDev 2 M&E Sytem has shifted from Outcome Monitoring (EnDev 1) to Outcome and Impact Monitoring (EnDev 2). Therefore the Monitoring Group has developed recommendations for a "proper" 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 got access to a form of 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: that means the mix of quantitative (standarised household interviews) and qualitative methods (open/ semi-structured interviews with key persons and households or focus group discussions)
to include control groups if possible (households which do not have acces to modern energy) into your baseline and impact study

The following table shows typical steps for baseline and impact studies, which we would recommend and support.
