Project Rationale & Definition

Clear project rationale:

• Which problem does the project solve?

• Who is the target group?

• What is best solution to the problem (Suitable technology)

Project definition :

• Components part of the project scope;

• Necessary components not part of the project scope.

-> Clear demand-supply analysis

Project Rationale & Definition (2)

Description of the target group, e.g.:

• Current access to and use of similar infrastructure;

• Distribution of income (over the target area), poverty level;

• Household composition, FHHs, gender related issues;

• Knowledge of the advantages of the infrastructure, cultural aspects.

-> Include in the consultations (for the ESIA), e.g. survey a sample of households

Project surrounding and institutional context:

• National sectoral policy and how the project is in line with the policy;

• Which (institutional) parties play a role in the sector;

• Related donor interventions, any possible overlap and/or complementarity.

= good baseline & targets

Monitoring & Evaluation

• ORIO Result chain

• Project Monitoring : indicators on output and outcome level

• Rigourous impact evaluations for part of the ORIO projects

(10-15%)

• IATI (International Aid Transparancy Initiative)

Process Result Indicators

Chapter 12 Project Plan = M&E Plan (incl. Result Indicators)

After selection project next phase -> determine final Result Indicators in cooperation with ORIO

Result Indicators : Annex Grant Arrangement

Implementation and O&M Phase: reporting according to Reporting Template, annex = result indicators

Reporting

(Impact) Evaluation

10-15% of projects will be evaluated

• OESO/DAC criteria

• Impact evaluation

• RVO.nl is responsible for the evaluations, and will assign an independent

evaluator

• Applicant/ Competent Authority/ involved companies, consultant or supervisor

are expected to cooperate

Now 3 tendered impact evaluations. Several more evaluations will follow in the

next years
