Abstract

This learning brief present the lessons that can be drawn from the Moving Energy Initiative (MEI) work so far. The paper explores the issue of violence against women and girls (VAWG) in energy programming. It introduces a framework to enhance the sensitivity to VAWG among practitioners designing humanitarian energy projects. As VAWG is often intensified in displacement settings due to additional strains on these communities and individuals, the MEI conducted further research to better understand the context at the time of project implementation.

This paper is an output of the Moving Energy Initiative (MEI), a collaboration between Energy 4 Impact, Chatham House, Practical Action, the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC), the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).
