Abstract

This report presents the results from a four-year independent research project exploring women’s empowerment through electricity access, with particular attention to comparing the effects of electricity provided by the grid and off-grid systems. The research was carried out in three countries where a relatively large share of the rural populations lack access to electricity: Nepal, Kenya and India.
