ENERGIA’s impacts

Our advocacy achievements

For more than 25 years, ENERGIA has been advocating for gender equality in the energy sector to ensure universal energy access for all, to include a gender perspective in energy policies and programs, and to ensure the inclusion of women in high-level decision making processes. 

ENERGIA and its partners have helped to drive significant progress through our advocacy work, including:

• Supporting the development of Kenya’s gender policy for energy, a one-of-it’s kind policy aiming to raise the level of gender awareness, change attitudes and inculcate an engendered work culture among staff in the energy sector.
• Helping to shape the draft indicator frameworks for UN SDGs 3, 5 and 7 on health, gender equality and energy access.
• Co-chairing the SDG 7 Technical Advisory Group.
• Co-leading the Gender and Energy Compact, a global, multi-stakeholder coalition that catalyzes action towards gender equality and women’s empowerment to accelerate a just, inclusive and sustainable energy transition.
