Why is it important to show results?

•Taxpayers demand results•Parliament demands results•Decreasing support for aid in Dutch society

•Project level: Efficient?

What is the Netherlands 10-million Energy Target? Minister van Aardenne

(2005):

“By 2015, the Netherlands will provide access to modern forms of energy for 10 million people”

*MDG link to various indicators

UN (2010):More than 100 kWh/yr

and 100 kgoe modern fuels

IEA (2010):• Electricity: • 250 kWh/yr (rural); 500

kWh/yr (urban)• Clean cooking:

emissions like LPG

Examples of definitions:

Millennium Project:• 300 lumen per HH• Electricity: 75 kWh/yr• Modern cooking fuel

(significantly improved cooking environment)

How does the Netherlands operationalise access to modern forms of energy?

1.HH Access to electricity grid2. HH Access to small amounts of electricity (light, communication)3. HH Improved cooking

•Before 2007: “clean energy” •After 2007: “renewable energy”13-04-23 6

How does the Netherlands Count?

# of Connections *# of People in HH (default: 5) * Sustainability Factor (0 – 1.5) *% of financial support from DGIS

= People with access to Energy

Outcome vs Impact

Impact (Daey Ouwens MDG 1 and 7):

1)Jobs created2)CO2 emission abated

3)Kids with better grades4)Enhanced health facilities

Conclusion

1.Monitoring is of vital importance for results & to keep our jobs

2.Details of monitoring to be documented and argumented at project level
