This paper looks at the feasibility of
creating employment in the energy sector for women in rural
communities in Ghana. The report is based on a
stakeholders' analysis of the feasibility of embarking
on a micro-enterprise on multiple energy services for women
in rural fishing and farming communities. The objective of
the study is to test a business model for empowering women
through income generation in energy service delivery. It is
based on the background experience of a successful pilot
project, in Bangladesh. The model involves capacity-building
among rural women and micro-enterprise development for
modern energy service delivery to their communities and
surrounding ones. The focus of this study is to see if
transfer of skills for manufacturing and production of
energy service appliances can be accomplished without a high
level of education among rural women. Such skills are
considered as opportunities for initiating social
transformation. The stakeholders' analysis in five
selected communities was carried out to assess the
willingness and preparedness of women in these communities
to engage in other similar projects in Ghana. The findings
of the analysis have recommended that the Nyanyano region be
selected as the pilot electrified community. The findings
are presented in the report and are followed up with some
recommendations on how to proceed and what the next steps
should be. |
