In 2025, the African Development Bank, with support from the Climate Investment Funds (CIF) under the Scaling Up Renewable Energy Program (SREP), has developed a series of Country Diagnostic Studies on Gender and Renewable Energy for Ghana, Liberia, Mali, Lesotho, Madagascar, and Malawi. These studies aim to strengthen the integration of gender equality in national energy strategies by identifying key barriers, opportunities, and entry points for inclusive and sustainable energy transitions. Each diagnostic provides in-depth analysis and actionable recommendations to guide policy, investment, and program design—helping to advance women’s participation, leadership, and access to finance in the renewable energy sector.
