Do you work in Nepal? Do you have an innovative idea to address gender challenges in energy access and/or clean cooking?
Join our webinar on February 10, 2021 and find out how we could support you!
Hivos, ENERGIA, Energising Development (EnDev) and Modern Energy Cooking Services (MECS) have recently established a Gender and Energy Innovation Facility with the objective to stimulate innovations at the gender and energy access nexus, including on clean and modern cooking.
A number of grants, amounting to up to 25,000 EUR per project, are available for a selected number of local projects that in 3 to 12 months intend to test innovative solutions and approaches to address persisting gender barriers in the access to clean energy.
The Facility is especially looking for innovations on:
- gender and energy entrepreneurship and employment
- gender and energy in the care economy
- gender in energy policy and practice.
After a successful launch in Kenya and Tanzania we are now launching the Facility in Nepal.
We are particularly encouraging the participation of unusual players in the development sector, out-of-the-box thinkers and those who dare to experiment without being afraid to fail.
Join the webinar to learn more about:
- the Facility, its partners and its objectives
- the activities and services provided
- the process and timeline to submit your innovative expression of interest and apply for a grant
Please note that the webinar and all activities of the Gender and Energy Innovation Facility are held in English.
