Description
As part of the gender mainstreaming activity, Energy Forum initially selected two ECSs, with whom it had an initial brainstorming session. However later on one of the villages selected for the gender mainstreaming project namely Koshena Panvila Electricity Consumer Society (district Ratnapura, province Sabaragamuwa) which had a 6.5 kW power plant electrifying 70 households, received grid electricity therefore the EF discontinued the project in Koshena Panvila village and selected another village for the gender mainstreaming project. Accordingly EF worked on a process of capacity building on gender issues in rural electrification with the following two ECSs:  Niri Ella- Umandadola Electricity Consumer Society,  Kudawa Pitakale Electricity Consumer Society
