| No. of countries supported by SEforALL to develop customized policy and regulatory pathways towards SDG7, from both a legal framework perspective or national programme design and implementation perspective | 4 | 10 | 5 | +25% | In 2023, five in-country projects were underway: Nigeria, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, Uganda and Zambia. This target was not reached as: i) the funding allocated to PRF did not match the original ambition; ii) Rwanda doubled in size of typical support, requiring more human resources | |
| % improvement in the relevant RISE sub-indicator for those countries supported with customized policies and regulations | 49% | 20% | 49% | 0% | No data available in 2023. RISE is updated every two years, this KPI was selected due to the impact projected on the RISE score, with the caveat there is a data lag. This will be revisited in future evaluations when data are available; SEforALL will not be including KPIs that are dependent on external party database updates in future. | |
| No. of MGP thematic working groups established | 2 | 4 | 2 | 0% | The activities of the Minigrids Partnership (MGP) are guided by the Steering Committee – a group of 15 external partners. It was decided by the Steering Committee not to pursue further working groups until the next strategic phase (2024-2026). |

| No. of IEPs developed in partnership with target countries | 2 | 4 | 4 | +100% | In 2023, five in-country projects were underway: Nigeria, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, Uganda and Zambia. This target was not reached as: i) the funding allocated to PRF did not match the original ambition; ii) Rwanda doubled in size of typical support, requiring more human resources | |
| No. of additional countries adopting IEP best practices | 3 | 4 | 10 | +233% | UIEP has contributed to reflections on planning and geospatial data management best practices in Ghana, Kenya, Madagascar, Malawi, Mozambique, Nigeria, Rwanda, Senegal, Uganda and Zambia. | |
| No. of development partners adopting IEP best practices | 5 | 6 | 14 | +180% | UIEP has exceeded its target of ensuring additional development partners adopt IEP best practices and/or directly are using IEP outputs in 2023, adding 9 additional development partners to this KPI in 2023. |
| KPI | 2022 VALUE | 2023 TARGET | 2023 VALUE | % change from 2022 | OVERALL KPI PROGRESS TRENDS | 2023 NARRATIVE UPDATE |
| Funds (USD million) raised for UEF | 44.5 | 100 | 44.5 | 0% | UEF continues to implement a resource mobilization strategy to achieve the $100 million fundraising target. Fundraising has been slower than expected due to a macroeconomic downturn, resulting in reduced available development funding amidst increasing demand, and the necessity to demonstrate disbursements of existing funds in order to unlock new funds. | |
| Funds (USD million) disbursed by UEF as grants to providers | 0.387 | 10 | 5.3 | +1280% | In 2023, performance lagged due to extended lead times for securing financing, equipment procurement, and deployment by developers, leading to project delays. Furthermore, persistent COVID-19 lockdowns and their supply chain impacts over the years further undermined overall target achievement. | |
| No. of verified mini-grid connections with power flowing | 654 | 14,291 | 4,216 | +545% | Verified an additional 3,562 mini-grid connections, bringing the cumulative total to 4,216 (30% of target), marking a nearly 6-fold increase compared to 2022. The 2023 target could have been met if not for regulatory approval delays, tariff volatility and supply chain disruptions over the past 3 years, pushing project commissioning dates beyond 2023. | |
| No. of verified functional stand-alone solar systems for productive use (SSPU) installed | 0 | 1500 | 733 | N/A | 733 stand-alone solar PV systems for productive use (SSPU) have been verified in Nigeria under the SSPU programme (49% of target). Below target due to a slower than expected rate of deployment from a few SSPU developers. | |
| No. of verified functional clean cooking solutions deployed | 0 | N/A | N/A | N/A | The clean cooking component of the UEF is being refined and is set to launch in 2024. | |
| No. of markets where the UEF is operating, by country | 5 | 7 | 5 | 0% | The UEF currently operates in five countries: Benin, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Madagascar, Nigeria and Sierra Leone. The UEF anticipated expanding into Zambia and an additional country under the clean cooking component. This is now on track for 2024. |
| KPI | 2022 VALUE | 2023 TARGET | 2023 VALUE | % change from 2022 | OVERALL KPI PROGRESS TRENDS | 2023 NARRATIVE UPDATE |
| No. of countries that have prioritized clean cooking as a result of data and evidence provided by SEforALL | 6 | 10 | 12 | +100% | Integrated Energy Access Plans and Energy Transition Plans that help countries prioritize clean cooking are included in these results. Mainstreaming clean cooking into the plans is the most efficient way to ensure clean cooking attracts the attention it necessitates. Ongoing support to the development of the IEPs in Madagascar and Rwanda in 2023 are examples of successfully engaging governments and partners on clean cooking. | |
| Clean cooking yearly investment in HICs (USD million) | 100 | 150 | N/A | N/A | This KPI was designed to reflect financial data on Clean Cooking from the Energizing Finance research series, which was not commissioned in the reporting year. While these data were not available in 2023, the tide on finance for clean cooking is turning. SEforALL has been instrumental on many fronts in making this change happen. The continued collaboration with the Climate Finance and Energy Innovation Hub and the launch of GeCCo at COP28 have laid the foundation for accelerated funding for the sector in the years to come. |

| KPI | 2022 VALUE | 2023 TARGET | 2023 VALUE | % change from 2022 | OVERALL KPI PROGRESS TRENDS | 2023 NARRATIVE UPDATE |
| No. of key energy and health stakeholders prioritizing energy considerations in healthcare (based on a list of 20 pre-defined key stakeholders) | 14 | 14 | 17 | +21% | This number further increased in 2023 as several additional stakeholders have now made a significant contribution to the health facility electrification sector (e.g., IKEA Foundation’s grant to SELCO Foundation and the European Commission’s DESIREE project). | |
| % of clinic electrification programmes/projects adopting innovative/sustainable delivery models (based on a review of 10 of the largest and most recent health facility electrification interventions) | 60% | 50% | 80% | +20% | Certain large-scale projects progressed either in the proposal development stage (e.g. World Bank’s ASCENT programme) or started with the implementation stage (e.g. SELCO Foundation’s 25,000 project in India), and are adopting innovative/sustainable delivery models. | |
| % of clinic electrification programmes/projects adopting holistic and high-quality system designs (based on a review of 10 of the largest and most recent health facility electrification interventions) | 90% | 100% | 100% | +10% | This highlights the fact that the sector has seen a remarkable improvement in stepping away from smaller Solar Home System-type solutions to larger facility-wide electrification projects, including from organizations that previously prioritized service-specific solutions (e.g. UNICEF, GAVI). | |
| No. of health facilities electrified with SEforALL's support | 464 | 1000 | 935 | +102% | This indicator fell just short of the target as the available funding throughout the 3-year cycle did not focus on deployment of power solutions to health facilities. The other part of the target - a UEF programme to deploy power solutions to 1,000 health facilities - was not reached due to UEF delays and prioritization of mini-grids and SSPU in deployment. |
| KPI | 2022 VALUE | 2023 TARGET | 2023 VALUE | % change from 2022 | OVERALL KPI PROGRESS TRENDS | 2023 NARRATIVE UPDATE |

The number of opportunities was provided based on programme demand and hosting capacity. | |
| No. of women's mentorships supported by SEforALL | 105 | 295 | 248 | +136% | 90 from Women in Clean Cooking, 52 from OAP and 2 from the Youth Ambassadors programme. Mentorship support provided to young women across the various programmes is on a voluntary basis. As such, this component has been largely dependent on the willingness, capacity and availability of suitable mentors. 2 young men from the SDG 7 Global Youth Ambassadors programme and 12 young men under the OAP programme also benefited from mentorship support. | |
| No. of women who have received technical training | 183 | 450 | 261 | +42.6% | Technical training for young women occurs through three primary programmes (OAP, STEM and the International Centre for Theoretical Physics Summer School), limiting the number of supported participants based on available resources and programme scale. 51 young men received technical training under the OAP programme. | |
| No. of women supported by SEforALL to speak at leading industry events | 24 | 60 | 60 | +150% | In 2023, we saw a strong commitment from both SEforALL and partner organizations towards enhancing the representation and participation of young women in global sustainable energy thought leadership spaces. 3 young men under the SDG7 Global Youth Ambassador programme were supported to speak at leading industry events. | |
| No. of women supported by SEforALL in the sustainable energy sector | 312 | 880 | 487 | +56% | When compared to 2022, this suggests a progressive trend with regards to the work of the Gender & Youth programme to strengthen gender equality in the sustainable energy sector through a holistic approach and delivery of transformative initiatives across the globe. Most women supported were young women from the Global South. 54 young men were also supported by SEforALL in the sustainable energy sector (51 from OAP) and (3 from SDG7 Global Youth Ambassadors Programme). |
