Enabling equitable access to rural electrification: Current thinking on energy, poverty, and gender
Summary. Rural electrification programs must address the interconnected challenges of energy access, poverty reduction, and gender equity. The paper identifies critical gaps in current energy projects, particularly regarding women's specific needs, health impacts from cooking fuels, access to credit for microenterprises, and lack of gender-disaggregated data. It calls for renewable energy approaches that prioritize poor rural women and emphasizes the need for documented case studies and multidisciplinary collaboration to improve outcomes.
