This Off-Grid Solar (OGS) policy toolkit is designed to assist governments in creating an enabling environment for OGS and pay-as-you-go (PAYG) sector growth by establishing policy reforms determined through a structured process of inter-ministerial policy dialogue. It identifies 12 key policy issues and considers the advantages and disadvantages of different policy approaches to each issue. The toolkit then outlines a step-by-step process that governments can use to facilitate policy dialogue, providing guidance and tools at each step.
This toolkit contains a set of tools covering the major climate entry points (identification of risks, incorporation of climate considerations in the project’s selection, and appraisal of climate effects in the project’s economics). It uses as inputs preliminary project data, readily available climate-related resources, and tools produced by the World Bank Group and international organizations. The outcome should be a project-specific collection of considerations that will need to be further evaluated and quantified during the subsequent phases of implementation of the Umbrella Toolkit.
