Go to Link:The articles in this issue capture the reality of gender, energy and poverty linkages in the South Asian region.They provide case studies on how energy is not limited to electricity, and how access to energy and energy provision processes can be empowering and can change women’s lives. Practical Action’s Project Manager Mr Rohitha Ananda, an experienced practitioner in community based energy delivery, highlights that successful energy projects need to have women’s participation designed into the entire project cycle - where women are considered not only as recipients but also as planners and implementers. The featured articles include examples of innovative community energy initiatives which have secured a high level of women’s involvement – from the planning and management of an energy project by local women groups in Bhutan and women’s engagement in energy delivering micro enterprises in India, to providing training, empowerment and bringing about social change in Afghanistan.
