Independent terminal evaluation. Generating energy capacity from geothermal power generation and its related technologies for sustainable development (UNIDO Project No. 170046)

Overview

The UNIDO programme - Generating energy capacity from geothermal power generation and its related technologies for sustainable development - focuses on geothermal power generation and energy management systems in Africa, with a particular emphasis on the Eastern Great Rift Valley region. The programme aims to increase access to stable electricity, improve the operations of an existing geothermal plant in Kenya, and enhance human and institutional capacities. The programme was divided into two parts, with the Internet of Things (IoT) sub-project being separated due to its technical nature and having its budget. The overall budget for the program – starting in March 2017 and completed at the end of 2023- is USD 12.733 million. The terminal evaluation assesses the programme's achievements in terms of technology demonstration projects, removing barriers to accessing technical information, capacity building, knowledge management, identifying sustainable business models, and strengthening market conditions for investment. The evaluation also examines the program's progress toward its impact, which includes catalyzing market development for geothermal power projects and improving energy access in African countries.
