  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 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: 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, whereever 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 typical steps for baseline and impact studies, which we furthermore recommend and support.
