Global Household Energy Market Survey

Eco compiled a report on public sector energy efficiency in more than 30 countries, identifying best practices and preparing recommendations for helping local, regional, and national governments to save energy and reduce public expenditures.

The report, which covers several regions, found that while there had been many significant improvements in public sector energy efficiency programs, there was still significant potential to save energy in nearly every area where governments were spending money for basic operations.

Turning Information into Empowerment: Strengthening Gender and Energy Networking in Africa

 Eco Ltd worked with partners including ENERGIA and ITDG-EA to develop the "Turning Information into Empowerment" (TIE-ENERGIA) project. The project is designed to help distil information that has been developed and that continues to be developed in the field of energy and gender, into knowledge that can be used to catalyse change. It concerns several African countries (Botswana, Kenya, South Africa, Mali) and it aims at strengthening the African Gender and Energy Network by increasing awareness and skills in gender and energy issues.

HEDON - Household Energy Network
