Launching of ASEAN Gender-Energy Report: Development Finance |
|
To support the inclusivity improvement, ASEAN Centre for Energy (ACE) through ASEAN Climate Change and Energy Project (ACCEPT) has promoted the importance of women’s empowerment in the energy sector. In 2022, the initiative is continued through the launch of the ASEAN Gender-Energy Report: Development Finance that explores the question ‘have the government and donor institutions provide enough support for energy development initiatives in ASEAN that consider gender element in its program?’. The objective of the ASEAN Gender-Energy Report: Development Finance is to evaluate the funding received for gender and gender-energy related projects from 2010 to 2019 in ASEAN. This report also unravels the interplay between gender equality, energy access, and economic improvement, which is rarely discussed, especially in ASEAN. The report is expected to be used as a reference for ASEAN policymakers in planning the financial needs to achieve higher levels of gender equality in energy projects.
