Ex-Post decentralized evaluation - NHB project SUNREF, India (CIN1021)

The evaluation offers several recommendations for future green affordable housing initiatives:

Programme Design

Future programmes should conduct comprehensive market analysis before establishing interest rates and financial structures, with automatic adjustment mechanisms linked to market indicators. They should develop a robust Activity Logic framework with clear causal pathways, explicit assumptions, and detailed monitoring protocols.

Technical Support Framework

Technical assistance should be grounded in systematic needs assessment rather than predetermined allocations. Knowledge management systems should be strengthened to ensure institutional memory retention, including standardized documentation protocols and clear handover procedures.

Implementation Architecture

Strong stakeholder coordination and clear communication pathways across the entire stakeholder chain should be prioritized. Standardized data collection and reporting formats should be established with regular verification mechanisms and clear protocols for tracking blended funding impacts.
