Promoting 'g'ender 'e'quality in 'photovoltaic m'ini-grid 'm'anagement through 'p'osters

 

According to a gender study conducted by GIZ in 2015 it was revealed that only 6% of the rural electricity management team members were female who is involved in management of photovoltaic (PV). The spirit to promote women's participation in every aspects of rural development needs to be supported. As gender issue recently has become more prevalent, Energizing Development (EnDev) Indonesia attempts to introduce the basic concept of gender equality using a more enticing and engaging way.

EnDev targets rural communities with PV mini-grid in at least 50 villages to be disseminated with the posters this year. It aims to increase the understanding on the importance of balancing the participation of women and men in the PV mini-grid management and to gain recognition of women’s role in rural electrification programme. EnDev expects that such gender equality campaign may increase the number of women active in the PV mini-grid management as well as in the utilisation of electricity in a more productive manner.
