Impact evaluation of the Energy for the Poor programme
Overview
The Energy for the Poor pilot project aims to enhance access to energy for the most vulnerable segment of the population to increase their wellbeing and develop markets for solar energy while increasing the penetration of solar products to previously underserved communities. The pilot project targets beneficiary households of the Cash Transfer programmes for Orphans and Vulnerable Children (CT-OVC) and Old Persons (OP-CT) that reside in off-grid communities and that have at least one child aged 9-14 that is enrolled in and attending primary school. By working with the local county governments, the pilot project plans to target at least 1,500 households in selected sub-counties across Garissa and Kilifi.
The pilot project will achieve impact through:
1. Improving customer affordability for solar products by providing households enrolled in the Energy for the Poor pilot project with a bi-monthly cash top-up on their CT-OVC or OP-CT regular payments to be used for repayment of either a SHS or two SLs as chosen by the household;
2. Conducting a behaviour change communication campaign to improve households’ awareness of solar products and provide messaging related to topics such as the benefits of solar energy, maintenance of solar products etc.;
3. Community engagement activities to raise awareness of the project for community leaders and the wider community, train beneficiary households on the use of the products, sensitise them about payment for the products, and promote interventions that reduce economic vulnerability.
