Capacity Building

The main focus of the third phase of ENERGIA is on capacity building, which is targeting two areas:

1. Capability building development: to increase the awareness, knowledge, and skills of stakeholders, ranging from network members and focal points to policymakers, planners, and project implementers, in terms of integrating gender and energy concerns into sustainable development.

2. Institutional development: to build a strong network of organisations and individuals committed to, and working in, gender and energy in sustainable development.

This strategy consists of three groups of activities that build on the experiences and identified needs from ENERGIA Phase 2:

• Developing training programmes and courses

• Consolidation of national networks

• Development of knowledge resources
