| Summary: | This note is intended to serve as a
quick reference guide for applying a gender lens to the
design and implementation of a mini‐grid to enhance
development outcomes. As mini‐grids are increasingly seen as
a potential solution to energy access issues, importance
must be placed on ensuring that the benefits and
opportunities of the intervention are realized for both men
and women. The guidance below provides energy access, social
development and gender specialists, with additional ideas
and best‐practice approaches to integrate at all stages of
the project cycle in order to enhance gender equality. |
