Launching and Monitoring the Peer to Peer Learning Programme

Monitoring guidelines for the success of the learning programme

Establishing a successful peer to peer learning programme is the main objective of PROSPECT. To ensure quality and timely reaction in constantly improving the program, we have set measurable targets, both tangible and intangible, for all our strategic and operational objectives, which focus on the learning programme. View report

Summary of the monitoring outcomes of the learning programme

Establishing a successful peer to peer learning programme is the main objective of PROSPECT. To ensure quality and timely reaction in constantly improving the programme, we have set measurable targets, both tangible and intangible, for all our strategic and operational objectives, which focus on the learning programme. Then, the specific objectives and appropriate targets were shaped into a performance framework and appropriate key performance indicators (KPIs) were developed for each. View report

Peer-Powered Cities and Regions: Success Stories from PROSPECT

For PROSPECT, we have selected cities and regions that planned to develop and launch sustainable energy and climate action projects using innovative schemes in their own local contexts. Specifically, we have focused on participants who, after engaging in peer to peer learning, have transformed these experiences to specific learning outcomes, namely cognitive change, relational change, skill development, action orientation, and wider capacities. This booklet is written for cities and regions interested in the learning journey of peer-powered cities and regions on the topic of innovative financing schemes for sustainable energy and climate action projects.

Replication Assessment and Planning

PROSPECT Recommendations-Decision Matrix tool for selecting financing schemes

This self-assessment tool contains a set of questions, which help to determine which financing scheme will be the most suitable for the local authority to implement for local sustainable energy and climate project investments. There are 4 sectors of recommendation:

Public Buildings
Public Lighting
Private Buildings
Cross-sectoral

For each sector, there are specific innovative financing schemes that could be best adopted in. For each financing scheme, the user should answer the questions by selecting one of the pre-determined (YES/NO) answers provided.

The financing scheme with the majority of positive answers (YES) is likely to be a suitable choice for your city/region.
