Indicators went through multiple stakeholder consultations in the development phase. The selection of indicators and associated methodologies was discussed with private sector representatives. As RISE recognizes the importance of engaging that sector, consultations with private developers and investors were held in Washington, DC (all pillars), Nepal (energy access), Kenya (renewable energy), and India (energy efficiency). The selection of indicators also benefited from a private sector survey–based online consultation with more than 140 stakeholder groups in over 30 countries worldwide. The private sector was also represented in the external advisory group to ensure integration of their perspective in the indicators. Furthermore, consultations with country representatives of the Scaling Up Renewable Energy in Low Income Countries Program (SREP)—one of the programs of Climate Investment Funds as well as funders of this pilot—also provided valuable feedback. In addition, internal and external advisory groups were engaged. 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.
