The project Strengthening the Capacity of the Energy Sector to Deliver Gender Equality and Social Inclusion Results was implemented from January 2019 until December 2021. The project’s ultimate goal was to mainstream gender equality and social inclusion (GESI) in the program and project cycles of the Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA). The NEA is responsible for generating, transmitting and distributing power by planning, constructing, operating and maintaining all facilities in Nepal’s power system. Mainstreaming GESI in the NEA entailed: training staff on GESI and on new energy technology applications; reviewing their internal operations, procedures and manuals to make them more gender-sensitive and gender-responsive; promoting the access to and productive use of clean energy technologies and services, by and for women, the poor and vulnerable. This document provides an overview of the objectives, methodologies and
project results.
