The Energy Access Market Development- or EAMD-model  is a tool to describe  and analyse the development of energy access markets. The tool can be used for three purposes: 1) Developping an energy access program by using the tool to identify the areas of market development in most urgent need of support; 2) Monitoring progress in market development to ensure that changes in market context are integrated into the program 3) Document market progress that can be considered indirect program results.

‍

The model is used in the EnDev program, Higher Tier Clean Cooking Component (HTCC), African Biodigester Component (ABC) and in the SDG7 Results program and was developped in the EnDev program:

‍

1) Development, testing and operationalizing of additional versions of the tool adapted for Energy Access Markets with different dynamics, like Biodigesters, Mini-grids, Fixed Stoves and others as applicable;
2) Performing in-depth scorings of markets;
3) Managing, collection of scorecards and analysis of results for e.g. EnDev program reviews or as part of a programmatic tender (SDG7); provide backstopping to organizations/field workers filling out the scorecard;
4) Analyzing groups of such scorecards for trends and developments;
5) Structuring and maintaining a database of scorecards for Energy Access markets resulting from different programs
6) Present and explain the model externally / to third parties
