The paper “Promoting Good Jobs and Inclusive Growth through Energy Projects in Central and West Asia” by DHInfrastructure’s Nicole B. Rosenthal and Denzel Hankinson has been published on ADB’s website.
The paper analyzes the links between energy service provision, good jobs, and inclusive growth. The purpose of this analysis is to offer advice to ADB, other multilateral development banks (MDB), and MDB borrowers that will help—if inclusive growth and good jobs are the objectives—to design and implement energy sector interventions that achieve these objectives, and to measure progress against the objectives. In doing so, the paper also sets out a standard framework for evaluating the outcomes and impacts of energy sector interventions.
