Abstract
The objective of this briefing note is
to provide World Bank energy task teams a brief overview of
the key issues, resources and tools to help integrate gender
considerations into energy sector operations. This briefing
note discusses the key elements of the 'gender in
energy' topic and provides specific examples on
'how to' integrate gender considerations in energy
policy dialogue and the project cycle. This note draws on
recent experience within the World Bank and elsewhere in
mainstreaming gender in energy projects. It aims to
consolidate this knowledge and make it available to energy
practitioners addressing gender aspects of energy projects.
This note is complemented by a compendium of online
resources to provide energy teams with basic tools, such as
sample questionnaires, terms of reference, and screening
guidance, as well as reference material on gender and
energy. These resources have been developed by drawing on
the experience of Energy Sector Management assistance
Program's (ESMAP's) Africa Renewable Energy and
Access (AFREA) gender and energy program, where gender
considerations have been integrated into five energy
operations in Senegal, Mali, Benin, Tanzania and Kenya.
Section 3 of this note and the ESMAP/AFREA online resources
are organized around the three key areas the World Bank
considers essential parts of a gender-informed project:
assessment, actions, and monitoring and evaluation.
