    India Gender Equality Results Case Study: Enhancing Energy-Based Livelihoods For Women Micro-Entrepreneurs

    Asian Development Bank | February 2018
    Abstract
    Reliable supply of 24-hour electricity in the State of Madhya Pradesh since 2014 has transformed the lives of many, including women from low-income households. An Asian Development Bank project validates how women can be empowered through capacity development in ancient use of electricity and energy based enterprises, and provision of business development services. The case study builds up on the project progress so far, showcasing women who, along with their sense of personal empowerment, have increased their incomes and savings through microenterprises. The case study rea­rms that a steady supply of electricity, coupled with capacity development, helps create an arena where men and women are accorded equal participation in business opportunities.
