Welcome to Boiling Point number 55, which is now available to read on the website of the HEDON Household Energy Network. This issue of Boiling Point addresses the theme of "Monitoring and Evaluation" and as well as the usual great articles we've changed the format a little and introduced two new features - a case study and a toolkit.

The journal is produced by Eco Ltd with financial and editorial support from Practical Action and GTZ. This issue is also kindly supported by GVEP International.
==SYNOPSIS==
The theme of this edition is the effective Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) of household energy projects. While often neglected, M&E is a critical component of any project as it allows a practitioner to measure the success of an intervention, whether in technical, social, economic, environmental or political terms, so that they can learn from the indicator results to improve future work.
