Further Information
The goal of ENERGIA is to contribute to the empowerment of rural and urban poor women
through a specific focus on energy issues.
ENERGIA's strategies:
- Building the capabilities of network members, focal points, policy makers, planners and
project implementers to integrate gender and energy concerns into sustainable development,
- Strengthening the institutional capacity of organisations and individuals committed to and
working in gender and energy in sustainable development to operate as a strong network,
- Advocacy and advice to policy makers and planners on mainstreaming gender and energy
in sustainable development policies and programmes at the national, regional and international
level and
- Deepening the understanding of the energy, gender and sustainable development linkage
through analysis of existing literature and case study research and using the findings to
improve project, programme and policy design.
Areas of expertise: The target group of the project is three-fold. Rural and urban poor
women are the final beneficiaries, but they are not directly involved in the envisaged activities.
Two categories can be distinguished as target groups who are direct beneficiaries and are
involved in the activities:
- Policy makers, planners and project implementers of the government institutions,
NGOs, networks, multi- and bilateral donors, and private companies; and
- Network members as partners actively taking part in programme activities, who receive
support for enhancement of capabilities, institution building of the sub-networks and for
gender mainstreaming in their own organisations.
