Sections 1- 4 in this paper provide an overview of global and Norwegian commitments to gender equality. Sections 5-8 outline how gender is important in financing energy for all. The paper argues that gender equality in energy access is crucial for meeting the MDGs, global human rights commitments and economic efficiency. It provides the logic that explains how gender equality in energy access can contribute to economic efficiency and what private investors can gain from financing gender-responsive energy access. It acknowledges the links between gaps in gender equality and a lack of energy access. Finally, it provides examples of how one can achieve gender benefits through energy interventions.
