SLOT Analysis RESA Nepal
Strengths • Timely endeavour in raising consumer awareness in ongoing power sector reform in Nepal • Only organisation working on the issue • Wide geographical coverage even in its pilot phase • Networking with a wide range of stakeholders in the sector • Bridge between the utility, policy makers, the private sector and the consumers • Support from all the stakeholders including political parties , media and the consumers • Good team work and systematic implementing mechanism among the partner organisations in the region • Sharing of relevant information among the RESA team regarding power sector reforms in the respective countries
Limitations • Limited number of project activities • Slight changes in project activities posing administrative and budgetary constraints • No activity to directly address the most pressing issue of load-shedding in the electricity sector in Nepal • Process oriented approach of the project team rather than content oriented
Opportunities • Given the low level of consumer awareness and existence of numerous electricity related problems, scope of expansion in relation to activities and geographical coverage • Creating a position to push the government for taking consumer-friendly decisions • Possibility of a tie-up with various consumer and other related organisations to explore further working options in the sector
Threats • State of acute power deficiency limiting the project scope • Raised expectations among the different stakeholders including the partner organisations
Way forward • RG meeting II • GIMs II
