| Overview : In keeping with its strong stance on climate change, Ethiopia and its clean energy partners have committed to implementing an ambitious policy framework for carbon neutral growth across multiple sectors: the Climate Resilient Green Economy strategy (CRGE). In the energy sector, the CRGE broadly aims to accelerate development through the construction of critical clean energy and energy efficiency infrastructure while avoiding an increase in carbon emissions relative to baseline levels.
In order to leverage the opportunity to further the Government of Ethiopia’s commitment to gender equality in all sectors, the Ministry of Water, Irrigation and Energy (MOWIE), with support from the Royal Norwegian Embassy, undertook the development of a Gender Action Plan (GAP) for mainstreaming in the energy sector.
The purpose of this assignment is to provide implementation support and capacity building to the owners of the Gender action plan GAP (“key stakeholders”) – primarily the WYAD – to kick-start their work plan.
The specific objectives of the consultancy are:
5. To support mainstreaming of gender into selected energy programmes / projects of MoWIE;
6. To strengthen the capacity of the Women’s Affairs Directorate (WYAD) of MOWIE and technical directorate staff through training, in gender mainstreaming, analysis and gender budgeting and reporting
7. To enhance awareness of gender mainstreaming in energy sector programs and projects at sub-federal level;
8. To strengthen the ability of the WYAD to function effectively as owner and coordinator of the GAP through development of clear, practical guidelines on reporting procedures between WYAD and the technical directorates |
