How is the implementation process?
Data collection •Carried out by consultants in countries to count on
local capacity • Spent 26 man-month through •Primary data collected from official documents • Interview with developers and customers
General Scoring Principles • Score out of 100 for each indicator •Use traffic light to indicate scores •Equal weight to indicators when aggregate •Traffic light also used at aggregated levels

III. Moving Forward to a Global Rollout
Global Rollout
Readiness for Investment in Sustainable Energy 41
Plan to launch in late 2014
Aim to cover 100+ countries
ESMAP and IRENA have confirmed support
What Would Be Different
Readiness for Investment in Sustainable Energy 42
What we do differently What we ask countries to do differently
• Indicators will be refined based on lessons and feedback from pilot
• Measurement of indicators will be improved (e.g. fossil fuel subsidy, RE subsidy, time and motion, etc.)
• Linkage to the SE4ALL GTF results will be established and analyzed
• Data availability needs to be improved (e.g. official documents, financial statements, LCOE, etc.)
• Support to data collection from the government can be made by strengthening monitoring capacity
