Description: A baseline study has been conducted for the EnDev measure in Benin between November 2006 and February 2007. Throughout the course of the study, 290 households, 60 small enterprises and 60 social institutions were interviewed in the project region of the development measure. Being part of the project monitoring, this comprehensive socio-economic survey aims to assess the status quo before the implementation of the electrification component. It is complemented by a survey of 120 households, small enterprises and social institutions in villages close to the project region that already have access to electricity. This way, first impressions of the impact of electrification measures could be recorded. The central findings of the two surveys will be summarized below.
