The Gender–Energy Nexus explores how access to clean energy can drive women’s economic empowerment in Africa and South Asia. This project supports the Shell Foundation in building an evidence-based understanding of which clean energy interventions most effectively contribute to positive outcomes for women.
Caribou is conducting an impact evidence synthesis and developing a theory of change to capture empowerment-related outcomes in the clean energy sector. We are also developing an economic impact model to quantify the effects of various clean energy solutions and investment approaches, including payment models, women-led distribution, and capacity building, on women’s outcomes.
Together, these activities are shaping a structured framework that will guide Shell Foundation’s investment strategy and measurement approaches.
