“One of the aims of the Government of Zambia is improving women’s empowerment, particularly through employment. They are willing to try a wage subsidy but it must be designed carefully,” says Bupe Simuchimba

“This year, the DRC government is reviewing its national strategic plan. This is an opportunity to make more land available to women which can diversify and transform the economy,” says Zizina Shabani

“Wage subsidies for women may cost a lot to the Senegalese government but this will create a lot of employment, generate sustainable revenue and reduce gender inequalities,” says Anta Ngom

“Subsidies for women’s salaries can triple women’s jobs and reduce gender inequalities in the Senegalese labour market,” says Anta Ngom

"To mitigate customs in the DRC where women do not inherit land, a policy to increase women’s land by 40% will allow women to be more autonomous and increase agricultural production," says Zizina Shabani Zita Maua

"A wage subsidy can improve women’s employability and competitiveness in Zambia. As well as improving women’s wages, it can increase the country’s economic growth," says Bupe Simuchimba

"Electricity access won't solve every problem but it is a vital strand in the broader development agenda, which includes expanding rural productivity, women's education and women's empowerment," says @temiladesesan

"We are demonstrating that electricity is a very important tool for development and especially for women’s empowerment. When a women is empowered, she meets her needs and those of her family," says Dr Binaté
#EnergyforEmpowerment #WomensEconomicEmpowerment

"At the start of the pandemic, the government in Côte d'Ivoire helped households pay their electricity bills. But this was temporary. The government has a responsibility to provide electricity at an accessible cost," says Dr Binaté
#EnergyforEmpowerment #WomensEconomicEmpowerment

"Social safety nets are important to allow women to be able to invest their limited time and money into income-generating activities, including paying for electricity," says @temiladesesan

#EnergyforEmpowerment #WomensEconomicEmpowerment

"The main obstacle that we need to highlight is the cost of electricity.
Most of our women work in subsistence agriculture and cannot access the financing needed to connect to electricity," says Dr. Binaté in Côte d'Ivoire

#EnergyforEmpowerment #WomensEconomicEmpowerment

"Women’s access to electricity does not necessarily translate into income-generating activities. Solar lamps often mean that women can extend the time they spend on domestic tasks," says @temiladesesan

#EnergyforEmpowerment #WomensEconomicEmpowerment

"Electricity access can have a transformative effect for women as it removes some of the barriers to earning income" says Dr Binaté in Côté d'Ivoire
#EnergyforEmpowerment #WomensEconomicEmpowerment

"In Nigeria, there is still a disconnect between the rural electrification interventions and the agricultural activities that are predominantly women’s responsibilities," says @temiladesesan #EnergyforEmpowerment #WomensEconomicEmpowerment
