Electrification scale-up in Africa will require rigorous, yet low-cost and practical monitoring and evaluation to guide the programs, plan and measure impacts, and collect lessons learned for improvements. Monitoring, evaluation, and impact evaluation are vital in determining whether development initiatives, such as rural electrification effectively reduce poverty. In the past there have been many claimed benefits from rural electrification - including gains in productivity, learning and health. This clinic on the impact of rural electrification investments focuses on development outcomes, and whether the assumed benefits can be quantitatively verified. The session presents monitoring and evaluation tools and components that work and typical conclusions that can be drawn from evidence-based evaluation.
