Descripción
Women and children are often not only responsible for cooking but also tasked with collecting the fuel needed to prepare meals. This often involves walking long distances to collect fuelwood which exposes them to protection risks and a significant work burden, especially in protracted crises. As a result, less time is left for child care and productive activities that can provide additional income for the household. Improving access to sustainable energy is key to tackle these issues. At the same time, it is of crucial importance to include in-depth gender analyses when planning and implementing SAFE-related projects.
