To this end a methodology has been developed quantify project performance across five dimensions, each informed by three key indicators, and aggregate these into composite indicator, using weights obtained from survey experts. The experience demonstrates inherent limitations ‘one-size-fits-all’ methodology, revealing implicit tension between political desire refer objective, absolute, measures best practice highly contextual realities where baselines are often lacking. However, does offer comparative means highlight relative strengths weaknesses any given project, enabling both ex-post assessments learning. study features analysis cases selected Energy Access Knowledge Base, published Global Network on for Sustainable Development (GNESD).
