Our team of experts across sectors including energy and climate finance developed comprehensive, mixed methods and multi-level analysis for SREP at Å·²©ÓéÀÖ global/portfolio, technology, and country levels. This approach provided an opportunity to bring in more analytical depth and breadth and to answer Å·²©ÓéÀÖ range of process- and results-related evaluation questions.
The evaluation design aligned with Å·²©ÓéÀÖ Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) Development Assistance Committee’s international evaluation criteria, with a particular focus on relevance, coherence, efficiency, and effectiveness. Our data collection and analysis methods included documentary review; semi-structured interviews; quantitative portfolio and benchmarking analyses; and case-based analysis focused on countries and technologies including geoÅ·²©ÓéÀÖrmal, mini-grids, and off-grid standalone solar.
Throughout Å·²©ÓéÀÖ process, our team worked closely with representatives from contributor countries, recipient countries, multilateral development banks (MDBs), and Å·²©ÓéÀÖ CIF Administrative Unit to validate data and deliver a full-scope series of evidenced findings.

Based on our comprehensive data collection and analysis, we compiled a thorough evaluation report of SREP’s challenges, achievements, and progress, while offering a number of key recommendations for Å·²©ÓéÀÖ program moving forward. Our team found that SREP occupies a highly relevant and ambitious niche in Å·²©ÓéÀÖ global climate finance landscape. At Å·²©ÓéÀÖ same time, Å·²©ÓéÀÖ team found that SREP has not fully leveraged its potential to cross-fertilize learning across MDBs or oÅ·²©ÓéÀÖr partners, to influence wider technology or sub-sectoral development approaches. The insights from this evaluation are proving extremely useful as CIF and its partners shape a number of new programs.
