This country brief on gender and energy in Uganda is one in a series to support equality of access and use of energy by women and men through evidence-based initiatives. The Uganda Vision 2040 and the Third National Development Plan recognise energy as a critical driver of socio-economic transformation. To ensure universal access to affordable, reliable and modern energy services, the Government of Uganda is committed to scaling up investments in the requisite human resource capacity, to reduce electricity costs, and to expand rural electrification and the use of renewable energy sources, particularly solar and biogas. Although Ugandans aspire to live in a society where women and men are empowered to participate as equal partners in the country’s development, gender gaps continue to exist in all sectors, including in the energy sector.
