How has ’empowerment’ been conceptualized in studies of electricity’s gendered impacts? Why has there been a divide between established notions of empowerment (i.e. women’s political, social and economic empowerment) on the one hand and, on the other, gender goals in energy interventions and adhering research, which tend to focus on electricity’s impact on welfare indicators?
The aim of this webinar is to discuss how a more coherent understanding of women’s empowerment in the realm of electricity could help governments, donors, NGOs and local communities achieve multiple goals through increased provision of electricity access (through grid, off-grid and stand-alone systems).
