  • Energy is a critical enabler in reaching development goals. However, the benefits of increased access to modern and cleaner energy services often fail to accrue evenly to men and women. The African Development Bank and ENERGIA recognise the need to prioritise policy action in the field of gender and energy to meet the international Sustainable […]

  • With this strategy document, we—the ENERGIA network—share what we aim to achieve between 2018 – 2021. We also present how we intend to capitalise on our strengths to scale our collective impact, how we will improve our weaknesses and how we will find solutions to persistent and emerging issues around sustainable energy and equitable energy access for all.

Appliances can reduce drudgery and save time in performing household tasks. They can also be transformative from an […]

The focus is on electricity, because our target regions benefited from interventions to provide access to electricity, and in some cases to promote productive uses and gender mainstreaming. However, our […]
