The target audience for this study is development practitioners, public officials, and civil society actors involved in social sustainability and the communications aspects of energy reform policies. 2015-06-30T22:07:23Z 2015-06-30T22:07:23Z 2015 Report http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2015/06/24581297/toward-gender-informed-energy-subsidy-reforms-findings-qualitative-studies-europe-central-asia http://hdl.handle.net/10986/22100 English en_US CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank Washington, DC Economic & Sector Work Economic & Sector Work :: Energy Study Europe and Central Asia Central Asia Eastern Europe Europe Europe and Central Asia
