Nepal’s Policy Scenario in Gender and Energy
Nepal has made progress in improving access to energy but still faces challenges. Over 86.5% of households rely on firewood for cooking and 7,500 women and children die each year from indoor air pollution. The government has set a goal of providing clean cooking solutions to all by 2017 to address this. Nepal has also increased rural electrification to 72% through grid extensions and decentralized systems. However, geographical isolation and lack of access to finance limit energy access for some. Moving forward, Nepal prioritizes energy access, decentralized governance, gender inclusion, private sector involvement, and promoting productive energy uses to generate income and employment, especially for women.
Solar Water Purification
