The performance evaluation of Access will address the extent to which the project supports the overall power sector reform objectives of the Compact, as well as the implementation, outcomes, and sustainability of the project itself. The evaluation will rely on tracking key outcomes over time to assess pre-post changes, qualitative data analysis, enterprise case studies, and simulations. Evaluation questions include: 1. Was the Access project successful in expanding the number of connections? 2. Were projects activities implemented as designed? How did implementation (in terms of objectives, activities, and beneficiaries) deviate from the original logic driving the investment, and why? What were the implementation successes and challenges? How did changes in implementation affect project performance? 3. To what extent have the interventions improved the effectiveness of governance structures in markets and economic enclaves, and/or enhanced collaboration between market institutions and the utilities? 4. Were improvements in project outcomes sustained after the end of the Compact? What sustainability planning was done during implementation, and why? What are the critical institutional factors that affected their sustainability? Evaluation of Access will rely on the following data sources: 1) Implementation documents and records; 2) Administrative data from PDS< restructured ECG, and NEDCo; 3) FGDs with MSME owners and investors; 4) Household and enterprise survey; 5) GridWatch data. The performance evaluation will rely on trackeying key outcomes over time to assess pre-post changes, qualitative data analysis, enterprise case studies, and simulations. Baseline data will take place in 2019, midline in 2021-2022, and endline in 2023-2024.
