| Findings |
| Recommendations | |
|---|---|
| 1 | Terminal Evaluation recommendation 1. Thematic checklist to be created at national level to ensure key assumptions are duly considered |
| 2 | Terminal Evaluation recommendation 2. Design processes include national GEF and EMAE focal points from the start to gain accountability |
| 3 | Terminal Evaluation recommendation 3. Use of attainable indicators and conservative target setting. Update logframe indicators and targets to proper monitor project progress |
| 4 | Terminal Evaluation recommendation 4. Estimate longer timelines when dealing with policy making. Policy and legal regulations require an average of 3 to 4 years from design to enactment. |
| 5 | Terminal Evaluation recommendation 5. • Continue using the CT-PTSE as the coordination and planning space for further development assistance in the renewable energy sector. |
| 6 | Terminal Evaluation recommendation 6. Carry out initial baseline analysis regarding SLFM and NTFP production projects to effectively monitor the impact. This would allow to determine, if any, changes in terms of hectares under production, yield, revenues obtained by beneficiaries, etc. |
| 7 | Terminal Evaluation recommendation 7. Strategic communication to be included when policy outcomes are called for to support the policy enactment and approval process by effectively communicating key messages with Government and Non-Governmental actors. |
| 8 | Terminal Evaluation recommendation 8. Current tariff system is not accounting for system inefficiencies and poor management. There is a need to update the tariffs to make return on investment more attractive to the private sector. |
