The Impact Assessment of the Energy Vulnerability Reduction Fund in the Winter of 2022–2023
September 25, 2023
A series of three policy briefs focused on assessing the impact of the Energy Vulnerability Reduction Fund (EVRF) was conducted.
- Moldova’s Energy Crises and the Impact of the Energy Vulnerability Reduction Fund in Alleviating Poverty During the Winter of 2022–2023
- Economy-wide Impacts of the Energy Price Compensation Policy
- The Data Component of the Energy Vulnerability Reduction Fund
The assessment conducted by UNDP Moldova provided critical insights and recommendations for the EVRF, emphasizing the importance of a more integrated and nuanced approach, the need for robust data governance and internal evaluation capacities, and the consideration of additional variables for the categorization algorithm that could be used in the analysis that could shed more light on the varying impact of energy subsidies. These measures are key to maximizing the EVRF's impact, expanding its coverage, and ensuring its continuous improvement.
