The Southeast Asian Energy Transition Partnership (ETP) is a multi-donor platform. It aims to accelerate the energy transition in Southeast Asia and contribute to achieving the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Paris Climate Goals by bringing together Government Donors, Philanthropies, and Partner Governments. ETP aims to empower partner countries to transition towards an energy system that ensures environmental sustainability, economic growth, and energy security. To achieve this goal, ETP is mobilizing and coordinating the necessary technical and financial resources to create an enabling environment for renewable energy, energy efficiency, and sustainable infrastructures in the region. The purpose of the Evaluation is to assess the effectiveness of the Partnership after its first three years and advise how it can be strengthened in the future given its new horizon of 2035.
The overall goal for the evaluation is to review the contribution of the ETP programme to the overall energy transition agenda in Indonesia, the Philippines, Vietnam and the wider SE Asia region to improve the current and future processes, systems, and approaches. Findings from the evaluation will be used to update the program theory of change, objective setting, planning logic, processes, and overall approach. The immediate output of the evaluation will be an action plan with clear deadlines and a roadmap the program will follow. Longer term, the goal is to improve ETP’s likelihood of achieving impact on climate targets and the SDGs, though at this stage ETP’s relative newness and small size set against the scale of the problem makes direct attribution unrealistic.
