The sector

A fast-growing sector held back by a data gap

Climate and sustainable energy attract a growing share of development finance, yet suffer from a shortage of reliable data to measure risk, vulnerability, inclusion and impact.

CRAD produces this evidence: indices, MRV, mapping and costed action plans, as on the regional WOCEWA project delivered for CEREEC/ECREEE across 12 ECOWAS countries.
