Local experts designed and manufactured sixteen solar dryers for crops. Sixty
women in the community directly benefited from the project, and another 360
women received indirect benefits. They were able to earn a modest US$200
per season, depending on what agricultural products were available at the
time, which varied from medicinal plants to vegetables and dates. The results
of the workshop were sustained after the project ended. Seventy solar dryers,
financed by other donors, have been set up in Gaza city.

Generating Opportunities is a book describing eight case studies in Africa
and Asia about women and energy. Gives concrete examples of how to give
women living in poverty better access to clean energy and economic services.
The most important aspects considered in the publication, based on lessons
learnt from the case studies, are how to design policies and programmes to
improve rural women’s access to modern energy supplies.

associated with large-scale production of the first generation of liquid
biofuels in developing countries. Its objective is to open a debate on risks,
and to identify research and policy strategies to confront them, in order to
take maximum advantage of the opportunities that biofuels offer.
