In Nepal, M&E has focused on quantitative targets rather than socio-economic impacts or even productive uses. The NPC's Poverty Monitoring and Analysis system (PMAS) included two energy related indicators: the percent of population with access to electricity, and average per capita electricity consumption. While these two indicators will form the starting point for the project, a new position has been created within the project specifically to ensure effective monitoring of REDP activities. Besides the role of monitoring and progress oversight, the role of new M&E position will include review of project activities implemented through the support of various partners, developing tools for monitoring, and evaluating project outputs and socio-economic impacts including distribution of benefits among women and vulnerable groups, and validating the monitoring indicators. The M/E component of the programme will be built on the work done by the Monitoring & Evaluation of Energy for Development (M&EED) International Working Group led by Global Village Energy Partnership (GVEP) and EDF as well as on Department for International Development (DFID) of UK Government, International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), and the WB work on guidelines and methodologies for energy indicators for sustainable development.Considering the above, communication and monitoring plan for the programme will be prepared along with the first Annual Work Plan (AWP), which will be updated every year.
A mid-term review will be carried out including "stakeholders' workshop" in the beginning of the third year and a terminal evaluation will be conducted in the final year.
Together with UNDP and AEPC, REDP will develop an AWP Work Plan Monitoring tool as per the attached format.
