CRGGE Recommendations and Checklist
Gender matters in energy projects and programs in some significant ways, this empirical research shows. Modern energy services are important for the empowerment of women because they improve women’s health and make their lives easier so that women can participate more fully in development. They reduce women’s time poverty (and sometimes, consumption poverty), and give women more options in their work and more knowledge from media, and this can help women negotiate for their strategic needs both in the household and the community. Each of the case studies include recommendations pertinent to energy practice in their own countries and regions. The evidence is clear but not as extensive as may be needed to convince policymakers in all areas, and more research is needed. But many of the key findings of these studies have immediate policy implications that can be acted upon.
