Social Inclusion
Making Energy Governance Work for Everyone
The Problem
Energy poverty and inequality remain deeply intertwined in Kenya’s development story.
Women, youth, and marginalized groups bear the greatest burden of limited access to clean energy, yet their perspectives are often absent from decision-making spaces.
Without intentional inclusion, the energy transition risks reinforcing the same social and economic divides it aims to solve.
What We’re Doing About It
Gender-Responsive Policy Advocacy
We promote gender equality and inclusion within energy policies, ensuring that laws and frameworks address systemic disparities.
Equity and Representation
EGP works to increase women’s and marginalized groups’ participation in leadership, advocacy, and policy processes.
Research and Dialogue
We generate data-driven insights and convene dialogues to spotlight how social inclusion advances just, sustainable energy systems.
Community Empowerment
Through partnerships with local CSOs, we amplify the voices of those most affected by energy access gaps, from rural households to informal sector workers.
Our Impact
Mainstreamed gender and inclusion principles into national and civil society energy strategies.
Elevated representation of women and youth in policy consultations and leadership spaces.
Produced knowledge resources informing equitable, inclusive energy programs.
Strengthened the link between gender equality and energy poverty reduction in public discourse.
