Women and men are both users and buyers of lighting and appliances. Women are important decision-makers when it comes to household products, and they are also strongly affected by low-quality and inefficient products, which can, for example, impact their health. While women are important users of such appliances, the purchase decision is often taken by somebody else.
The energy efficient lighting and appliances market also offers opportunities for women entrepreneurs. To capitalize on this, capacity building and awareness raising activities under EELA will address both women and men equally.
This webinar will put a gender lens on the EELA from a policy, capacity building and business persepective. It will look into opportunities for women's empowerment in the EELA market of East and Southern Africa and elaborate on the business case for gender in EELA. It will also look into existing barriers and opportunities to overcome them in order to create a more gender balanced business environment in the EELA space.
