IBTCI was selected to evaluate the USG’s Catalyzing Clean Energy in Bangladesh (CCEB) efficacy across five thematic areas: 1) improving the regulatory environment for clean energy development, 2) strengthening analytical capacity for energy sector planning and policy making, 3) promoting industrial energy efficiency and conservation, 4) adopting demand side management programs for electric utilities, and 5) conducting market analysis and development for improved cook stoves. IBTCI conducted key informant interviews (KIIs), focus group discussions (FGDs), and a field survey of improved cook stoves (ICS) end users in field visits to Bagerhat, Chapai N’gonj, and Gaibandahi. IBTCI’s evaluation team interviewed 184 relevant stakeholders, including central government officials, energy infrastructure and business stakeholders, and CCEB implementing partners and local subcontractors. Additionally, a risk assessment framework (RAF) was developed to determine the CCEB Project’s likelihood in achieving expected development outcomes and potential secondary outcomes during implementation.
