Scaling Adoption of Clean Cooking Solutions through Women’s Empowerment: A Resource Guide, 2013.

C Hart, G Smith. Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves.

This Resource Guide builds off of existing resources while compiling and analyzing a wide-variety of case studies, tools, and stories that outline practical, actionable methods and best practices for scaling adoption of clean cooking solutions through women’s empowerment. While several reports exist that analyze and investigate the importance of effectively integrating women into energy initiatives through gender mainstreaming practices, there has not yet been a practical guide on how to specifically integrate women
throughout the clean cooking sector.*

Research for the Resource Guide consisted of a careful examination of other sectors’ success in including women throughout their value chains to increase their bottom lines and impacts. Within this, the economic benefits of empowering women, and the related benefits for their families, communities, and national economies were also evaluated. Over 50 reports on gender, gender mainstreaming, women’s empowerment, and energy were collated, summarized, and analyzed. Additionally, training manuals, handbooks, and guides on relevant topics were extensively reviewed and compared to extract critical strategies, lessons, practices, and themes that can be applied in the clean cooking sector.
