title = "Impact assessment to measure the success of implementation of rural community engagement projects. A case study",
abstract = "This paper describes how the use of an impact assessment reveals unknown information to project teams who conduct community engagement engineering projects in rural and distant villages. The paper depicts a 'tried and tested' case study to describe how the impact assessment is done and the information revealed. The second phase of the Gwakwani project included the installation of off-grid solar home systems in the community. An assessment was later done which measured the impact of the technology in the area, using survey analysis.",
