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 2015, the World Bank retained GreenMax to collect market data in 13 countries across Sub-Saharan Africa to support the development and launch of the global RISE index. 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 and energy access in each country.

The 2016 RISE report is accessible here.
