Since 2022, NIRAS has been the MEL partner of the Global Energy Alliance for People and Planet (GEAPP), an initiative jointly funded by Rockefeller Foundation, IKEA Foundation, and Bezos Earth Fund. Operating across 16 countries worldwide (including several regional and global investments), GEAPP aims to support developing countries’ shift to clean energy, using a pro-growth model with long-term goals to reduce carbon emissions, increase access to energy, improve jobs and livelihoods, and mobilise climate finance. As a critical friend of a fast-growing initiative, NIRAS provides thought leadership to help GEAPP review and revise key methodologies, such as the process for setting country impact targets, and has provided on-demand support to key stakeholders (including board members, or country teams).

To support GEAPP in better communicating its impact, a NIRAS in-house digital solutions specialist designed a bespoke MIS dashboard to collect and publish aggregable indicators relevant to GEAPP’s long-term impacts in real time. We have also developed a comprehensive MEL framework to cover a diverse set of interventions within the GEAPP portfolio and ensure a cohesive approach across all workstreams and geographies.
