PROJECT OBJECTIVES 

Examples of intervention complexity   Single technology, single purpose – wind-driven water pump with sole purpose for irrigation    Single technology, multi-purposes - rural solar PV charge stations offering battery charging services for cell phones, battery operated lamps, and other battery operated electronics    Multi-technology, single purpose – Solar PV and diesel powered water pumps for rural irrigation   Multi-technology, multi-purposes - grid electrification provides lighting, communication, and entertainment for homes, irrigation for agricultural sector, lighting and refrigeration for health sector and lighting for schools.

ANSWER  Causal chain crucial- clarity-better impact interpretation  Outcomes CONSISTENTLY immediate to community/household  Impacts CONSISTENTLY national development  Identify link between impacts and MDGs

BASELINE ISSUES

 BASELINE CRUCIAL  BASELINES NOT A SIMPLE ISSUE FOR PROJECTS ALREADY IMPLEMENTED  RECOSTRUCTION POSSIBILITIES  -BEFORE AND AFTER CAN BE RECONSTRUCTED-Use of recall method for baseline widely used-some info easier than others  WHERE BASELINE NEEDED BEFORE HAND

PRESENTATION OF RESULTS

LESSONS  Expected results- don’t always occur  Quantitative indicators can be marred by uncertainty-  Poor project planning and M&E also exposed

ADVICE  AIM FOR CREDIBLE RESULTS-OPEARTE IN REALM OF DEVELOPMENT STAKEHOLDERS  USAGE OF FAMILIAR LANGUAGE TO DEVELOPMENT STAKEHOLDERS  AVOID CROSS-LINKAGES UNLESS OBVIOUS  AVOID Long winded deductions with no data to back up  COMPONENTS OF CAUSAL CHAIN TO INCLUDE STAKEHOLDERS,& CRITICAL FACTORS (SE LATER PAGE)

APPLICATION AREAS FOR AF  AF ADAPATABLE TO PROJECT DESIGN/ PLANNING & M&E- THROUGH CAUSAL CHAIN, STAKEHOLDER NEEDS AND INVOLVEMENT  WITH RIGHT DATA AND DEFINED BASELINE-AF FOR OUTPUTS TO IMPLEMENTERS/FUNDERS; OUTCOMES AND IMPACTS FROM TARGET GROUPS/BENEFICIARIES  AF SEEN TO BE RELEVANT BEYOND ENERGY INTERVENTIONS

OTHER APPLICATIONS  e. Monitoring and Evaluation  Assess the monitoring and evaluation set up, the role of the external monitoring consultant and make recommendations for a self-financing monitoring and evaluation arrangement, managed by SADC institutes, after the end of Phase 3.  Define impact measures/indicators to determine the efficiency and effectiveness of the program as well as its impact on national and regional levels during Phase 3 and beyond.
