Powering Agriculture Mid-Term Program-Level Evaluation and Innovators' Assessment

The Founding Partners of the Powering Agriculture: An Energy Grand Challenge for Development initiative have completed two midterm evaluations of the overall program and its 2013 innovator cohort.

Program-Level Mid-Term Evaluation

Powering Agriculture commissioned Syspons GmBH, an external evaluation team, to evaluate the program-level structures, processes and impacts of the initiative. The evaluation team conducted an in-depth analysis of relevant documents and data, in-depth interviews as well as an analysis of the results from a previous impact evaluation on the project level. The report includes key findings, conclusions and recommendations, and is intended to inform future decision-making by the Founding Partners.

Mid-Term Innovators' Assessment

Tetra Tech ES, Inc., through the USAID-funded Powering Agriculture Support Task Order (PASTO), conducted this assessment to determine the progress to date of the 2013 Innovators. The assessment presents findings, conclusions and recommendations that will be used to make mid-course adjustments to improve the effectiveness of the program and to accelerate the development and deployment of Powering Agriculture Innovators’ clean energy solutions.
