National Training Workshop Mainstreaming Gender in Energy Projects
ENERGIA supported the national capacity building workshop on Gender Mainstreaming in Energy Projects in Tanzania, which was held in Dar es Salaam city, Regency Park Hotel over a four day period in late 2010. The workshop was attended by 16 participants including 9 women and 7 men who are National Gender and Sustainable Energy Network (NGSEN) members drawn from various organizations across the country.
The main objective of the training was to build capacity of energy practitioners involved in implementing energy projects to enable them mainstream gender in their projects. To fulfill this broad objective the training aimed at achieving the following specific objectives:
- To create agents of change well equipped with tools and knowledge for mainstreaming gender in the energy projects.
- To bridge the existing knowledge gap on gender mainstreaming between the network members.
- To share practical experience on the knowledge gained from gender mainstreaming projects with other energy project practitioners.
- To facilitate trainees to prepare action plans for mainstreaming gender in their energy projects and follow up monitoring protocols.
Participants were given the opportunity to present their ongoing energy projects in which they would like to mainstream gender. By the end of the workshop a total of 10 action plans were prepared. Out of these 4 are for projects which are still at the planning and designing stage, while 5 are already on the implementation stage. In July 2011 a report tracking the outcomes of these action plans was published. Out of the 10 proposed plans 8 reported on outcome.
