Explore the issues and practices of outcome measurement, in link with the SDGs, in the energy access sector.
Within the LabODD, CERISE suggests to create en Energy Group, in order to explore more specifically the issues and practices of outcome measurement, in link with the SDGs, for impact organizations involved in the energy access sector (social businesses and impact investors).
The objectives of the Energy Group are the following:
- Question current approaches and practices: impact thesis, choice of indicators, link with SDGs, use of proxies and formula, lean approach, etc.;
- Appropriate the SDG framework: navigating at the level of targets and indicators, discussing advantages and limitations;
- Experiment in the field: support field partners in using existing data and/or collecting and analyzing new data;
- Share experiences related to outcome data collection, analysis and use;
- Capitalize: potential co-creation of a common reporting framework, operational guides, or other resources.
