Inclusivity analysis:
This working package addresses our research question 2. Based on the data from the database and the field study, this package will analyse three sub-questions:
- Who are the beneficiaries?
- How inclusive is the service in terms of gender, economic condition, spatial distribution, and such factors?
- Who controls the value chain of mini-grids and who reaps the higher benefit?
Additional data if required will be collected through focus groups and stakeholder inputs. Effects and impacts will be assessed on poverty and welfare metrics (income, health, etc.) as well as on development and environmental metrics. In addition, small comparative case studies will be used to highlight the main differences and similarities in four countries.
Outputs
Outputs will include:
a) Country level inclusivity analysis report (D9, 30th month) and
b) a comparative analysis report (D10, 33 month).
