The Inclusive Markets for Energy Efficiency in Uganda (IMEU) project description
The Inclusive Markets for Energy Efficiency in Uganda (IMEU) is a four-year project funded by the Embassy of Sweden and implemented by a consortium including SNV Netherlands Development Organisation (SNV) as the lead, Makerere University-CEDAT and Private Sector Foundation Uganda (PSFU). IMEU has a market development fund which intends to stimulate the demand and supply of energy efficiency services and products in Uganda. IMEU will implement the MDF through three mechanisms; Technical Assistance (TA); Catalytic Grants (CG) and Results Based Financing (RBF), which will be offered to qualified business in agriculture and built environment. To implement the financing mechanism, IMEU will require the services of an Independent Verification Agency (IVA) to verify claims submitted to the MDF by RBF recipients. SNV is in the process of hiring Independent Verification Agents (IVA) who will support the IMEU project.
This Terms of Reference describes the responsibilities of the Independent Verification Agent (IVA) and its objectives, activities, deliverables and working modalities for IMEU’s Results Based Financing mechanism. This ToR has been compiled with the aim to facilitate the delivery of a transparent and independent verification process.
I. Objectives of the Independent Verification Agent
The objective of the IVA is to verify the claims of the investees (companies that will benefit from IMEU’s Market Development Fund financing mechanisms) of IMEU funds through field surveys. The IVA will analyse the data and create a field verification report that informs IMEU on the number of (un)verified sales and connections according to a pre-defined format. The Field Verification report will be one of the sources that will support IMEU to decide on a (partial) award of the claim and release the cash transfer accordingly.
