A Measurable Community Benefit • Purpose: Differentiates CDCF to attract funding for smaller, poorer countries and communities • Direct Community Benefit: Community benefits that arise directly and automatically from project implementation • Indirect Community Benefit: paying a premium for ERs to support additional benefits where the project does not automatically and directly improve community welfare
“Direct” Community Benefits • Project Implementation leads directly to: • Improving Community Economic Welfare • Power supply enables new industry and job creation, higher income, new social and educational services, radio, internet…. • Improving Environmental Quality and Health • Reducing air pollution (severe indoor or outdoor pollution): LPG/kerosene stoves replacing smoky wood, residue, coal/coke fuel for heating and cooking; • Reducing Water Pollution: removing organic wastes polluting potable water sources (MSW leachate, crop waste to streams, etc) • Issues: are these significant and measurable? How? • Defining outcomes as well as outputs?
Indirect Community Benefits Where there is no community benefit arising directly and automatically from a CDCF project…… • Is it possible to add a benefit that is also “additional” and has its own baseline, monitoring plan enabling verification/certification • Indirect Benefits could include: • Education benefits: schools/materials, teaching services, lighting/power for schools, internet connections, satellite radio facilities • Health Services: clinics/medicines/fridges; regular health service provision; immunization, basic infectious disease management; • Potable water supply, sanitation services • Issues: practicability, affordability, measurement. Who provides the service?
