Subject to this evaluation is the “Support for Morocco's energy policy (PAPEM III)” (4 million Euro, Jan 2020 – Dec 2024). Morocco’s ambitious Nationally Determined Contributions as well as the national targets regarding renewables require a legal and regulatory framework which allows for a far-sighted energy planning and for the involvement of the private sector. Therefore, the project mainly targets the institutional, technical and organisational capacity strengthening of the national electricity regulator agency (ANRE), the improvement of energy planning and climate reporting as well as the improvement of the legal framework for private investment in decentralised electricity generation through renewables.
Objective: Central evaluations of projects commissioned by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) serve a) to support evidence-based decisions, b) to promote transparency and accountability, and c) to foster organizational learning to contribute to effective knowledge management. The project was selected for evaluation in a random sample, aiming at a coverage rate of 30-50% of all GIZ projects with a volume of EUR 3,000,000 or more.
