Generating Opportunities is a book of eight case studies drawn from Africa and Asia on energy and women. The book provides concrete examples of how improving poor women's access to affordable and clean energy services can act as an entry point to achieving multiple development objectives, including income and employment generation, poverty reduction, the empowerment of women and local and global environmental objectives. Based on the lessons learned from the case studies, the publication considers critical aspects of policy and programme design to improve women's access to modern energy services in rural areas.
