The RISE Advisory Group
Readiness for Investment in Sustainable Energy (RISE) has benefited from the suggestions and advice from the internal and external advisory groups created for RISE. The external advisory group provided expert advice and quality control in two rounds of consultations. Similar discussions were held with the internal advisory group—the World Bank Group technical experts, who have knowledge of the three SE4ALL areas. The experts helped incorporate close country knowledge from World Bank Group operations.
