Take-home Messages on Gender and Resource Recovery and Reuse (RRR) for Energy

Abstract

The case studies presented in this document demonstrate that innovations that recover energy from organic waste have multiple impacts that benefit some of the world’s most disenfranchised people. Requiring little investment capital for either producers or consumers, these methods produce inexpensive fuels that fit existing cooking practices. Women and young people can be involved more easily in the production process because the technologies involved are uncomplicated and input materials can be cheaply accessed
