(i) Water to Water (W2W) Project

The Water to Water (W2W) project in Kenya was aimed to develop and demonstrate an innovative zero-emission energy generation and storage system for use at the micro and mini grid scale in Kenya and eventually in the SSA region. The report discussed the opportunities available for women, youth and persons with disability in the DRE sector, identifies the barriers that hinder their full participation in the sector, and makes some recommendations that could help overcome these barriers .WISEe was consulted by Strathmore Energy Research Centre (SERC), to handle the Gender Equality and Social Inclusion (GESI) component.
