The Africa Biogas Partnership Programme (ABPP) has issued a call for proposals to collect case studies on gender and bio gas in Africa.
The Africa Biogas Partnership Programme (ABPP) aims to improve living
conditions of households in five African countries, through the
multiple benefits of the introduction of more than seventy thousand
domestic biogas digesters for cooking and lighting.
ABPP and its
partners, including ENERGIA who is providing gender mainstreaming
support to ABPP, decided to do specific and in depth case studies into
the gender and social economic aspects of biogas dissemination and
adoption as well as its benefits. The outcomes of these case studies
will be used for learning and improving the programme, and will be
shared widely. Three topics have been selected for case studies: gender
and workload, female entrepreneurship, and poverty, gender and biogas.
See below for the Terms of Reference for each of the case studies.
Interested institutes or individuals are requested to send in their
proposal for one or more of the research topics, with proposed
methodology, timeframe and period, country selection, and budget before
Monday 29 October 2012.
The decision will be taken within 2 weeks after
the deadline.
Proposals are to be sent to: cnjambi@hivos.or.ke
