Engendering Energy Policy

  • Joy Clancy

摘要

This chapter examines the extent to which energy policy has been engendered concluding that although there has been some progress, with the Global South doing better than the North, although in general energy policy remains gender-blind with little attempt to directly address gender equality. There seems to be a time lag between mainstreaming actions and policy change. A contributing factor is that women’s groups aiming to influence policy outcomes appear to lack an understanding of the context as well as the way processes work which can be overcome by appropriate capacity building.
