– USD 2 billion in investments leveraged,
– 2,046 MW of clean energy generation capacity added,
– An annual emission mitigation of 4.3 million tons of CO2,

This project constituted a full-fledged mid-term evaluation conducted in 2019 on PFAN activities from July 2016 to December 2018 concluded positively, underscoring the program’s achievements. The PFAN Evaluation was a comprehensive, independent assessment carried out to review the program’s performance and strategic direction. It was the second evaluation of PFAN under its new hosting arrangement and spanned nine months.
The evaluation included two primary components: a backward-looking assessment and a forward-looking focus on future opportunities.
Backward-Looking: Evaluation of the performance and outcomes of PFAN’s activities from July 2016 onwards.
Forward-Looking: Provision of recommendations to enhance PFAN’s structure and identify strategic opportunities to better position the program.
Assessment of PFAN’s Progress: Analyze whether the recommendations from the 2019 Mid-Term Review have been effectively implemented.
Strategic Enhancements: Focus on suggesting adjustments and opportunities to further strengthen PFAN’s impact and efficiency.
