2017 ANNUAL REPORT ANNEX MONITORING REVIEW

The 2017 Annual Monitoring Review evaluates SEforALL's efforts to drive Sustainable Development Goal 7 (SDG 7) through work streams including Energy Efficiency First, Leave No One Behind, and Sustainable Energy Diplomacy. While the organization demonstrated strength in intervention design and target audience engagement, it faced challenges related to resource capacity, staffing constraints, and internal communication, which occasionally impacted delivery timelines and post-launch engagement.

• SEforALL's 2017 interventions were generally well-designed and successfully reached target audiences, providing confidence that the organization is on track to reach outcomes defined in its Program Theory of Change.
• The 'Cooling for All' initiative, part of the Energy Efficiency First work stream, established a Global Panel to address sustainable, affordable, and HFC-free cooling in alignment with SDG 7 and the Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol.
• The 'People-Centered Accelerator' focused on gender equality and social inclusion, launching its first report, 'Opening Doors: Mapping the Landscape for Sustainable Energy, Gender Diversity, and Social Inclusion', at COP23 in Bonn, Germany.
• The 'Energizing Finance Report Series' aimed to fill data gaps regarding financial flows for energy access; its launch at the UN General Assembly in September 2017 generated over 2,284,000 Twitter impressions via the hashtag #SDG7Finance.
• The 'Why Wait? Seizing the Energy Access Dividend' report, developed with ODI and Power for All, used national examples from Bangladesh, Kenya, and Ethiopia to demonstrate the benefits of early electricity access.
• SEforALL provided analytical support for the SIDS-STEP proposal to the Green Climate Fund (GCF) to help Small Island Developing States transition from fossil fuels to renewables, though the GCF initially decided not to move forward with the first version.
• The 'Body of Evidence' work stream produced several high-impact tools, including the Global Tracking Framework (GTF), which reached an estimated global audience of nearly 370 million people, and the Regulatory Indicators for Sustainable Energy (RISE) report, which was covered in 27 countries.
• The 2017 SEforALL Forum in New York City attracted 931 participants from 82 countries, with 42% being female and 65% first-time attendees.
• The SHINE campaign, designed to mobilize faith, philanthropy, and development partners, was introduced as a 'call to action' at the SEforALL Forum and received high-level visibility through an Op-ed in The Hill by Mary Robinson.
• Resource capacity and staffing constraints adversely affected the organization's ability to meet deadlines and conduct post-publication engagement for several interventions.
