Indonesia clean energy development project (ICED) II mid term evaluation : final evaluation report

The MTE evaluated ICED II’s performance from May 2015 through December 2017, and was conducted by Integra Government Services under subcontract to Management Systems International. The MTE sought to answer the following two main questions: 1) To what extent is ICED II on track to meet its expected high-level and technical component-level (“Minimum”) results, and in what manner could either implementation or monitoring efforts be enhanced? 2) To what extent can evidence be collected that demonstrates the program’s contribution to either domestic US job creation or expanded market opportunities for US firms? Additional sub-questions are included and discussed in the body of the report. The Evaluation Team conducted a total of 36 key informant interviews and four site visits, and received nine responses to a supplemental online survey. Interviews were conducted in East Java, Jakarta, North Sumatra and South Sulawesi. A desk review was also performed which included a review of ICED II monitoring and evaluation plans and data, work plans, as well as quarterly and annual reports, among other documentation. Conclusions from the MTE state that ICED II has already exceeded or is on track to meet the majority of its high-level targets and performance indicators, with the exception of one indicator for which the information was not available to determine or validate the level of ICED II’s direct contribution (GHG emissions reduced). The MTE also found that ICED II supported activities are appropriately tracked, and are making significant contributions to support the Government of Indonesia in improving its renewable energy sector.
