This report presents findings on the
ESMAP-funded Central America Gender and Sustainable Energy
project. The project has provided support to the
Mesoamerican Gender in Sustainable Energy (GENES) Network,
which seeks to enable the equitable access of women and men
to sustainable energy services. Between April and July,
2002, a series of two bi-national and one tri-national
workshop on gender and sustainable energy was conducted for
members of GENES. Specific objectives were : become familiar
with various types of renewable energy technologies, their
applications and trends in their use; understand the
principle concepts of gender equity; reflect on the
relationship between gender equity, sustainable development,
and renewable energy, and identify how key concepts of
gender equity can be applied in the workplace and in the
field; familiarize with recent advances in the gender and
energy nexus; become familiar with gender methodologies,
their uses and limitations. To ground the concepts
presented, each workshop incorporated a technology
demonstration and / or a field visit to a project site where
participants could see one or more applications of
sustainable energy technologies. These trips included
exchanges on solar coffee drying and solar cooking; solar
lighting and water pumping and brief field visits to
projects involving photovoltaic pumping and electrification;
solar fruit and wood drying; and the use of improved cook stoves. |
