EnPoGen : Operationalising Gender and Poverty in Energy
نویسنده
چکیده
There is increasing recognition of the importance of taking poverty and gender into account in the design, implementation, and assessment of energy projects. Practitioners around the world are attempting to institute povertyand genderaware projects, and document experiences in order to share lessons with others interested in similar initiatives. Recognising the value of such initiatives, donors have been supportive. To some extent, even the private sector is beginning to see the usefulness of poverty and gender foci: in order to better understand the market for energy products and services. However, there remains much uncertainty about how to “operationalise” poverty and gender in the energy sector: how to put poverty and gender concepts into practice within the context of actual projects on the ground, and the institutional and governmental policies that impact upon them. This special edition of ENERGIA News is dedicated to a significant and pioneering initiative by the World Bank’s Asia Alternative Energy Program (ASTAE). ASTAE’s Energy, Poverty and Gender initiative (EnPoGen) has supported three country studies that examine the linkage between energy, poverty, and gender in China, Sri Lanka, and Indonesia. Simultaneously, EnPoGen has supported a complementary operational exercise to develop a Monitoring and Evaluation Framework and methodology for the design and assessment of poverty and gender impacts of rural electrification projects. These initiatives have helped demonstrate the value of incorporating gender and poverty approaches into rural energy initiatives, and provided valuable lessons for ASTAE -and to the World Bank and other rural energy programmesin applying these approaches to improve the lives of project beneficiaries and increase project effectiveness.
