Webinar: Securing an Inclusive Energy Transition: Female Empowerment and Entrepreneurship in Energy Access
12.02.2020
Off- and weak-grid appropriate lighting solutions, appliances, and productive use equipment allow communities to leverage energy services for income-generation. Unfortunately, gendered institutional structures and social norms often prevent the equal distribution of the benefits of energy access between men and women. Women are less likely to work in the formal economy, and when they are, they do so in enterprises with lower energy demands. This imbalance may restrict opportunities for women and hinder development efforts in the long run.
This webinar will explore the ways in which a gender-positive approach to energy access can help deliver multiple benefits for women and their communities. Specific topics include:
- The role of sustainable energy, off-grid appropriate appliances, and productive uses can play in women’s social and economic empowerment.
- The importance of taking a gender-positive approach to energy access
- The existing gaps in achieving SDG 5 and SDG 7 and how to close them
This webinar is organized by Efficiency for Access in partnership with Energia and GOGLA. Representatives from Energia and GOGLA will deliver short presentations on their research and programmatic work. A panel discussion and audience Q&A will follow.
