Project Description
The aim of this project is to contribute to a change in perception and behaviour with regards to women in the field of renewable energy. It is composed of three different pillars: To increase the participation of young female engineers in the public energy sector, the project offers 14 months of traineeships within the Ministry of Energy (MoE) and its related public agencies to eight young female engineers in order to qualify them for a follow-up employment. At the same time, the MoE’s Gender and Development Unit intends to mainstream the topic of gender and to build capacities within the key institutions in charge of energy development in Benin. Finally, to increasethe overall visibility of women in technical job positions, the trainees facilitate lively sensibilisation sessions, during which they inform female students at six high schools about the career opportunities for women in technical professions.


The innovative dimension lies in the promotion of female engineers in the energy sector by show of example. Starting with these eight women, the project aspires to create a longterm multiplier effect to increase the number of women being actively involved across Benin’s public and private energy sector.
