Zimbabwe capacity Building Workshop Report: Mainstreaming Gender in Energy Projects. 2009.
The national capacity building workshop for gender mainstreaming in energy projects in Zimbabwe was held over a five day in July 2010. The workshop was part of the ENERGIA Phase IV activities meant to build national capacity and practical experience. The workshop aimed to provide practitioners with skills and tools to mainstream gender into the various energy projects they are working on, following the realization that most practitioners lack appropriate skills and tools for gender mainstreaming in projects.
