Political Economy Analysis and Communications for Energy Subsidy Reform
This report takes stock of political economy analysis (PEA) and communications in the context of country-specific technical assistance activities supporting energy subsidy reforms that benefited from financial and technical support from ESMAP. Initiated as part of a retrospective assessment of technical assistance activities that ESRF has supported since its establishment, this report reviews designs and implementation approaches of World Bank–executed technical assistance activities. The assessment is based on a qualitative review of key outputs of select PEA and communications support activities carried out in the context of country grants. The report documents different approaches, assesses activity designs and outputs, and attempts to draw insights from emerging practices and substantive findings, along with making recommendations for future work. Key questions include, What practical approaches are used for providing technical and advisory support to developing-country governments for political economy assessments and communications strategies in support of energy subsidy reform efforts? What good practice examples are available for assessing political economy dimensions, using them to inform reform designs by addressing key impacts and concerns identified and conducting meaningful stakeholder engagement to explain the reform and build support?

| Summary: | This report takes stock of political
economy analysis (PEA) and communications in the context of
country-specific technical assistance activities supporting
energy subsidy reforms that benefited from financial and
technical support from ESMAP. Initiated as part of a
retrospective assessment of technical assistance activities
that ESRF has supported since its establishment, this report
reviews designs and implementation approaches of World
Bank–executed technical assistance activities. The
assessment is based on a qualitative review of key outputs of
select PEA and communications support activities carried out
in the context of country grants. The report documents
different approaches, assesses activity designs and outputs,
and attempts to draw insights from emerging practices and
substantive findings, along with making recommendations
for future work. Key questions include, What practical
approaches are used for providing technical and advisory
support to developing-country governments for political
economy assessments and communications strategies in support
of energy subsidy reform efforts? What good practice examples
are available for assessing political economy dimensions,
using them to inform reform designs by addressing key impacts
and concerns identified and conducting meaningful
stakeholder engagement to explain the reform and build support? |
