The Private Financing Advisory Network (PFAN) appointed Impact Amplifier to create custom methodologies for evaluating the social and environmental impact of social enterprises focused on improving access to energy in low-income communities. Project context >

Impact Amplifier helped eight climate mitigation organisations across Francophone Africa assess and understand their impact. The focus was on developing an impact framework, designing research methodologies, gathering relevant data, and defining what impact has realised from their energy solutions.
