Abstract
The gender audit of energy policies, programmes, institutions and projects in Kenya has helped stakeholders to understand the linkages between energy, gender and poverty and the importance of gender mainstreaming in different energy needs and assets of men and women. This report reviews the process and recommends how to improve upon it in the future and at different levels.
Description

Besides Kenya, Gender and Energy audits have been implemented in Senegal and Botswana.
