MCC country teams should articulate a clear, specific, and measurable project objective to describe what project success looks like. MCC investments are designed to achieve a specific project objective. The Regulatory project objective—to ensure the sustainability of all power sector investments, promote greater transparency and accountability for results in the sector, and enhance evidence-based decision-making among sector institutions—was broad and unspecific, which posed a challenge for managing the project toward targeted results and evaluating whether the ultimate objective was achieved. Moreover, the project activities were more narrowly focused on tariff reform and capacity building, suggesting some disconnect between project design and intended results.
