New CEO to Propel Power for All's Global Mission in Combatting Energy Poverty

The renewable energy sector, a growing and innovative industry, is improving career opportunities for women and youth. Reliable and clean power also empowers female entrepreneurs to start businesses, further promoting diversity within communities. On International Women’s Day we want to take a moment to celebrate some of these successes, focusing on East Africa and what these amazing women have achieved. The energy transition is more than a technological shift; it's a chance to enhance social and economic inclusivity. This year’s theme, Accelerate Action, stresses the importance of taking swift and decisive steps to achieve gender equality.

The journey towards a diverse workforce in the renewable energy sector is filled with obstacles. However, thanks to the tireless work of organizations such as the Ethiopian Women in Energy Association (EWiEn) and SHEnergy, leaders like Lewam, and their collaborative partners, the vision of a sustainable and equitable future is increasingly within reach.
