This paper identifies initial strategies for closing those gaps, while acknowledging and building on existing research and experience on gender issues around Energy at the household and micro to medium-scales. This paper intends to demonstrate that gender equality can be a driver for more effective clean energy investments, and that this gender lens can be applied at every level of the energy value chains. The findings identify and address knowledge gaps, raise awareness, and provide recommendations for actions and further research to implement gender responsive clean energy and climate change mitigation initiatives. With a wide range of intended audiences, these findings can assist policy makers and Project implementers at the local, regional, national, and international levels.
