Description:

Regulatory Indicators for Sustainable Energy (RISE) is a suite of quantitative and qualitative indicators developed by the World Bank to assess the legal and regulatory environment for investment in sustainable energy. This tool helps stimulate policy dialogue and identify priority areas for change based on best practices across nations that could foster an enabling environment for the enhanced development of sustainable energy. 

In 2019, the World Bank retained GreenMax to update the data for the global RISE index in 18 countries across Sub-Saharan Africa. The scope of work included extensive desk research, stakeholder identification and interviews, administering questionnaires and compiling all supporting information and documentation to analyze RISE indicators in renewable energy, energy efficiency, energy access and clean cooking in each country.

The 2020 RISE report is accessible here.
