Overcoming the shortcomings of binary variables
Full dissertation on how organizations can use multi-tiered, multi-dimensional frameworks to overcome the shortcomings of binary variables when measuring access to electricity. The research was conducted over a 6 month period and involved multiple field visits to rural communities in northern Tanzania. The outcome was a novel framework that uses 4 tiers across 6 dimensions which successfully and efficiently identifies bottleneck necks faced by communities that do not have full access to modern and reliable electricity.
