Integrating Gender Considerations into Energy OperationsThe objective of this briefing note is
 to provide World Bank energy task teams a brief overview of
 the key issues, resources and tools to help integrate gender
 considerations into energy sector operations. This briefing
 note discusses the key elements of the 'gender in
 energy' topic and provides specific examples on
 'how to' integrate gender considerations in energy
 policy dialogue and the project cycle. This note draws on
 recent experience within the World Bank and elsewhere in
 mainstreaming gender in energy projects. It aims to
 consolidate this knowledge and make it available to energy
 practitioners addressing gender aspects of energy projects.
 This note is complemented by a compendium of online
 resources to provide energy teams with basic tools, such as
 sample questionnaires, terms of reference, and screening
 guidance, as well as reference material on gender and
 energy. These resources have been developed by drawing on
 the experience of Energy Sector Management assistance
 Program's (ESMAP's) Africa Renewable Energy and
 Access (AFREA) gender and energy program, where gender
 considerations have been integrated into five energy
 operations in Senegal, Mali, Benin, Tanzania and Kenya.
 Section 3 of this note and the ESMAP/AFREA online resources
 are organized around the three key areas the World Bank
 considers essential parts of a gender-informed project:
 assessment, actions, and monitoring and evaluation.

The Impact of Structural Gender Differences and its Consequences on Access to Energy in Rural BangladeshThis report studies the impact that gender differences in Bangladesh have on access to energy and energy services and the consequences of these impacts based on review of recent literature on the matter. The report concludes that the structural gender differences that arise from cultural and religious norms can lead to various impacts in access to energy services which in turn can have long term consequences on women and all these factors must be considered while designing rural energy- gender projects.

Toward Gender-Informed Energy Subsidy ReformsSince the 1990s, most states in Europe
 and Central Asia (ECA) have embarked on energy sector
 reforms. These have included removing subsidies, which has
 resulted in increased end-user costs for energy. The
 research presented here comprises an integral part of a set
 of qualitative studies on poverty and social impacts of
 energy subsidy reforms. In particular, it examines what it
 means for energy subsidy reforms to be more gender
 sensitive. The purpose of this research is to illustrate the
 extent to which energy subsidy reforms in the ECA region
 differently impact men and women. Prior global studies on
 gender and energy suggest that men and women have different
 priorities when it comes to energy use; that the reforms may
 have unequal effects on their well-being; that they face
 different challenges in interacting with energy providers or
 social assistance institutions; and may have different views
 on and knowledge of policy reforms. The target audience for
 this study is development practitioners, public officials,
 and civil society actors involved in social sustainability
 and the communications aspects of energy reform policies.
