Evaluation Design Report for the Liberia Energy Project: Activities 1 and 2

This report describes Mathematica’s comprehensive mixed-methods approach to the impact and performance evaluations of Activities 1 and 2. The proposed evaluation designs described in this report aim to measure the impacts of and understand the changes related to the Mt. Coffee Rehabilitation Activity and the Capacity Building and Sector Reform Activity. When relevant, we will disaggregate the evaluation by key demographic dimensions to understand the programs’ effects on gender and social inclusion. We plan to use a range of implementation, performance, and impact evaluation methods to answer research questions about the overarching, grid, energy sector, end user- and utility-level outcomes. Since the writing of this report, we have determined that an impact evaluation is not feasible. We describe the revised approach in Appendix A.
