DHInfrastructure performed a mapping exercise of existing indicators and conducted an extensive literature review on enabling environments in each of the three SE4ALL sectors. The desk research was used to develop an initial set of indicators, which were then vetted through a review process, involving feedback from more than 150 sector experts and investors from the US, India, Nepal, Kenya, Spain, Denmark and Peru. To further validate the proposed indicators, DHInfrastructure conducted a desk pilot in 6 countries. The findings from the desk pilot, along with the private sector consultations, were used to refine the RISE indicators in order to be scaled to a global assessment framework. DHInfrastructure also used the outputs from these tasks to develop an external prospectus to be used to raise donor funding for a pilot and larger scale implementation of RISE.
