abstract = {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 Development Goals (SDGs). This country brief on gender and energy in Kenya is one in a series to support equality of access and use of energy by women and men through evidence-based initiatives.

Kenya’s national development blueprint, Vision 2030, recognises energy as a core enabler to fight poverty and a catalyst for the Sustainable Development Goals. With a Gender Index close to the average for the African continent, gender gaps remain a barrier to equal benefits and energy access for all. To achieve this, deliberate efforts need to be made to ensure inclusivity and responsiveness in all programmes and policies.

This brief provides insights into the current status of gender and energy in Kenya through a policy analysis. It presents key data, an overview of the institutional set-up focusing on gender and energy, and an analysis of barriers and opportunities based on expert review of policy documents and consultations with key stakeholders. This leads to a set of recommendations for effective integration of gender in energy planning, implementation and monitoring.},

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 Development Goals (SDGs). This country brief on gender and energy in Rwanda is one in a series to support equality of access and use of energy by women and men through evidence-based initiatives.

Universal access to affordable, reliable and clean energy by men and women is a key element in the Vision 2050 strategy document through which Rwanda aims to reach an upper middle-income level by 2035 and a high-income level by 2050. Gender equality is a key for the Rwanda strategy (Ministry of Gender 2010). Although the Gender Index score is above the average for the African continent, gender gaps remain a barrier to equal benefits from energy access to all. With the large steps to be made in providing access to electricity for homes and for income generation, and reducing the dependency on wood fuel for cooking, deliberate effort need to be made to ensure gender responsiveness in energy programmes and policies.

This brief provides insights into the current status of gender and energy in Rwanda through a policy analysis. It presents key data, an overview of the institutional set-up and targets on gender and energy, and an analysis of barriers and opportunities based on expert review of policy documents and consultations with key stakeholders. This leads to a set of recommendations for effective integration of gender in energy planning, implementation and monitoring.},
