01What is being requested

The assignment concerns a performance study into the technical aspects and social dimensions of four demand-side subsidy pilots in Liberia, Malawi, Niger and Uganda. The goal is to collect information on subsidy designs according to the ESMAP toolkit and the OECD DAC criteria.

The scope of the assignment is to collect detailed information on the subsidy designs according to the elements of WB’s ESMAP toolkit (being: predesign principles; targeting; subsidy level; delivery; verification; exit) in Liberia, Malawi, Niger and Uganda in line with the OECD DAC criteria (effectiveness, efficiency, relevance and coherence). Given the relatively short implementation of the DSS pilots, the study is not expected to draw conclusions about the impact and sustainability.

09Frequently asked questions

Which methodology is used for the analysis of the subsidy designs?
The assignment includes collecting detailed information on the subsidy designs according to the elements of the World Bank's ESMAP toolkit. This concerns: predesign principles, targeting, subsidy level, delivery, verification, and exit.
Which research questions are addressed within the study?
The study focuses on the technical design of subsidies and social aspects such as social tension and perception. The focus lies on the first learning question regarding the design (effectiveness and efficient use of resources) and partly on the second learning question regarding market distortion and interactions.
Are conclusions drawn regarding the impact and sustainability of the pilots?
No, due to the relatively short implementation period of the DSS pilots, the study is not expected to draw conclusions about the impact and the sustainability.
