3 Introduction The overall objective of the Energy and Environment Partnership (EEP) is to contribute to the reduction of poverty by promoting an inclusive green economy and by improving energy security in the Southern and East Africa regions while mitigating global climate change. What is the relevance of gender in energy projects? 3
4 Gender and energy Progress has been made in recent decades to raise the level of gender equality but women are still much less likely to have access or control over productive and natural resources and have less access to modern technologies or financial services, and receive poorer education, training and technical advice. They are also more likely to suffer violence and exploitation, and receive lower pay for their work. Until these inequalities are eliminated, women, who make up the bulk of the world s poor, will continue to suffer disproportionately from poverty and be more likely to endure limited economic and social opportunities (United Nations Industrial Development Organisation UNIDO) 4
5 Sustainable development goals Directly contribute to: Also contribute to: 5
6 Benefits for women and girls What does having access to sustainable energy services mean for women and girls? Less time spent collecting biofuels More time available for education Increased skills and job opportunities for women Increased household income Increased financial independence Increased time for social and political interaction 6
7 What is gender mainstreaming? To ensure that men and women can equally access, participate, and benefit from development projects, and that gender inequalities in activities and outcomes are reduced or eliminated, gender differences need to be considered during the entire project cycle - from design and implementation to monitoring and evaluation This strategy is known as gender mainstreaming 7
8 What is gender mainstreaming? (cont.) United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) 1997 definition: [Gender mainstreaming] is the process of assessing the implications for women and men of any planned action, including legislation, policies, or programmes, in any area and at all levels. It is a strategy for making women s as well as men s concerns and experiences an integral dimension in the design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of policies and programmes in all political, economic, and societal spheres so that women and men benefit equally and inequality is not perpetuated. The ultimate goal is to achieve gender equality 8
