Indicator for Rural electrification (RE) 

Two lists are presented: the list for programmes or projects promoting rural electrification (RE) and the list for those projects promoting the access to improved cooking stoves (ICS). Those programmes dealing with both aspects may combine the two lists.

The observation fields of expected impacts are supplemented with indicators and sub-indicators (“What to measure”) that represent options for possible choices to be made by the project. Recommended observation fields as a minimum selection of essential impacts to be observed are coloured in orange (ICS). For the RE projects essential sub-indicators are marked in blue. 

The Indicators are structured according to the respective beneficiaries, who are represented by the following four groups: Households (HH), Micro and Small Enterprises (MSE), Social Infrastructure (SI), and Stove Producers (SP).

Beneficiaries: Household (HH)
