A Study <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Impact</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Energy</strong> use on Poor Women/Girls Livelihoods in Arusha, Tanzania women and girls in Arusha by providing them with information on how to optimise their use <strong>of</strong> energy and to begin to strengthen their capacity to take part in the energy decision-making process. This second aim has been achieved by enabling the study communities to design and implement two energy focal points, one in each <strong>of</strong> the two wards. Thus these communities have begun, with the help <strong>of</strong> relevant local institutions, the process <strong>of</strong> raising their awareness <strong>of</strong> how to improve their household energy processes. <strong>The</strong> action plans for both focal groups when undertaken will sensitize the community to the need for more equal gender role and rights. 7.3 <strong>The</strong> way ahead 7.3.1 Background <strong>The</strong> findings and interventions described in this report are context specific. <strong>The</strong>y were undertaken in specific relatively poor urban communities in Arusha, northern Tanzania at a specific time. <strong>The</strong>y comprise an intricate mesh <strong>of</strong> issues and understandings around the household energy process and provide evidence to inform future policies. Most importantly they demonstrate the ignorance <strong>of</strong> individuals and communities about the comparative performance <strong>of</strong> the variety <strong>of</strong> fuels which are available in Arusha. Significantly the integration <strong>of</strong> research and practice is an important feature <strong>of</strong> this study. 7.3.2 <strong>The</strong> research perspective <strong>The</strong> research has highlighted the need for more data on the amount, and cost <strong>of</strong> energy used for each domestic activity. This information could then be used to advise households on how best to manage household energy budgets. Careful energy management is particularly important for poor households who are currently spending about a third <strong>of</strong> limited budgets on energy. In view <strong>of</strong> the relatively limited research on the energy, poverty, gender relationship in urban areas, and the context specific nature <strong>of</strong> the study there is a need for further follow-up research in other towns both within and outside Tanzania, possibly in west and southern Africa and a country outside Africa to assess the generic nature <strong>of</strong> the findings. 7.3.3 <strong>The</strong> practice perspective In a very short period <strong>of</strong> time it has proved possible for two communities to establish interventions which will, if sustained, will contribute to improving the lives <strong>of</strong> poor households, especially women and girls, in Daraja Mbili and Kaloleni. <strong>The</strong> performance <strong>of</strong> the two interventions should be evaluated in approximately six months to assess whether they are having an influence on energy management in Daraja Mbili and Koleni. If they are having a positive influence they should be widely publicised and other communities enabled to adopt this approach so that they can also benefit. - 67 - Development Planning Unit, UCL London Sheilah Meikle and Patrice North
