There are two stages of project evaluation facilitated by IRENA. In the first stage, the experts must evaluate, score and shortlist Executive Project Summary submissions. The Committee selects from this shortlist. Selected summary applicants are invited to submit a Full Project Proposal in the second stage. Experts evaluate and score the Full Project Proposals that are submitted. The Committee recommends projects to ADFD from this scored list. See Diagram 1 for the schedule and approximate number of projects considered at each stage from estimates from previous cycles. However, ADFD would like many more projects to be selected and recommended through the process. ADFD is advising that the Committee submit at least around 13 projects to them by the end of September 2019. Evaluation criteria The Panel of Experts carries out technical reviews of project proposals based on the following criteria at the Executive Project Summary stage and Full Project Proposal stage. See Annex 2 and Annex 4 for details on the evaluation criteria at these respective stages. Projects must have: technical merit, including through appropriate design, management capability, project deliverables; economic and financial viability, including through an appropriate business plan, demonstrated economic feasibility, revenue contracts and co-finance and socio-economic and environmental impact, including through achieving development goals e.g. equity, health and gender impacts. Projects must also: be transformative (expected to have a significant positive impact on the energy landscape, society, environment and/or business situation); be replicable (show an effective, efficient business model for the given technology that can be replicated, and/or involve a "solid and tested" approach); improve energy access (expressed in number of people to gain new access to clean energy, new connections to the grid or megawatts added to the power supply); address energy security (expressed in terms of how the project contributes to the diversification of energy supply, saving scarce energy resources, or reducing grid outages and/or in the number of people or systems with reduced reliance on traditional biomass, diesel, etc.). The Committee carries out a strategic review of the scored and shortlisted projects so that projects selected and recommended to ADFD must be geographically spread, technologically diverse and aligned with government priorities including the provision of a government guarantee. 5. Roles and responsibilities Each expert will be informed once the Panel of Experts is established by the Committee in mid to late January 2019.
