This presentation discussed how women see the differences between renewable energy and fossil fuels, and how the renewable energy sector can help women and vice versa. It also gave an overview of the CET impact assessment criteria and the impact of electricity access in South Asia through regional connectivity.

This presentation discussed how ADB piloted a unique approach for sustainable rural electrification: training 35 women for a six-month training program to be rural electricians that install and service solar photovoltaic panels and batteries, wiring and auxiliary systems. The women returned to their villages as “barefoot engineers.”

This presentation discussed the key lessons from the ADB technical and financial assistance project in Hatiya Upazila, Noakhali called “Enabling Poor Women’s Participation in the Renewable Energy Sector in Bangladesh".

This presentation discussed the advantages of using blockchain for community energy solutions. It also examined how blockchain can be used in microgrid control solutions, disaster management, and provenance & development.

This presentation discussed the gender equity and social inclusion (GESI) framework in the energy sector in South Asia. It also outlined the South Asia Department's experience in developing operationally relevant tools, gender-related capacities, introducing evidence-based approaches to gender and energy, and engaging in energy sector policy dialogue and technology solutions.

This presentation discussed how the renewable energy sector can help women and vice versa. It also examined the impacts and results of gender mainstreaming in renewable energy programs in South Asia.

This presentation discussed the scope of integrity management, the process involved with the integrity management toolbox, and the gaps and elements of success in water integrity capacity development in Southeast Asia.

This presentation discussed issues and lessons drawn from water management approaches in Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Nepal.

The Global Environmental Institute (GEI) has developed a Renewable Energy Implementation (REI) toolkit that evaluates, implements and scales-up renewable energy (RE) projects at national and regional levels. The toolkit includes GIS analysis, technology application MCA screening and financial analysis, and has been used to design industrial rooftop solar PV installation projects in China’s Guangdong Province. In 2018, the REI toolkit was used for deploring solar power potential of Gampola Town, Sri Lanka – about 1.8MW rooftop solar PV.
