FARM WITH SOLARNOW
Final Report
15-11-2018 to 15-11-2022 Farm with SolarNow (FASO) is a 4-year project that has been implemented by SolarNow under the
Netherlands Embassy Food Security Cluster Program. The project officially started on 15 November 2018 as
a 2-year project, and has been extended for an additional 2 years until 15 November 2022. Through an
end-user contribution program, SolarNow primed the market for agricultural equipment by providing 1,026
farmers with access to modern agricultural productive technologies over the 4 year project period, contributing
to enhanced production and farmer’s income. The subsidy, in combination with the in-house credit facilities,
investment in agri-marketing and in-house capacity building, improved farmer’s accessibility to SolarNow’s
agricultural product range, which otherwise would have been expensive for subsistent and emergent farmers.
The program channeled the contribution by the Netherlands Embassy to farmers, in the form of an end-user
subsidy on SolarNow’s agricultural product range. Thanks to the program, SolarNow has developed an
agricultural product range, has launched marketing campaigns for awareness creation, and has provided pay
plan facilities to clients. The investment in agri-product development, capacity building and marketing has
been fully covered by SolarNow up till the end of July 2021, through third party funding from MasterCard
Foundation ‘Fund for Rural Prosperity’. From July 2021 onwards, project expenditures to support promotion,
awareness creation and coordination of field activities were included in the FASO project budget.

Evaluation Evaluation is the systematic collection and analysis of information about the characteristics and outcomes of programs and projects as a basis for judgments, to improve effectiveness and inform decisions about current and future programming. Evaluations are distinct from (a) needs assessments, which are designed to examine country or sector context to inform project design, (b) internal informal reviews of projects and (c) audits (conducted either internally or by an external audience). Such efforts should not be included in PO.3. However, evaluability assessments -- those assessments completed with the purpose of determining whether or not an evaluation of an activity can be conducted -- should be included in PO.3. This program area should include all evaluations designed and funded with foreign assistance funding, including the components of contracts with task orders for evaluations (regardless of the mechanism). It should also include all independent contractors hired solely to produce an evaluation(s); all other contractors (e.g., those whose job responsibilities may include support or management of evaluation but not the production of an evaluation as a deliverable) should be placed in PO.2
