Nine months ago, 15 women from Kenya, Ghana, Rwanda and Zambia looking to advance their careers in the energy access space sought support and advice from a group of professionals they had never met.
Today, these women are graduating from the 2020 People-Centered Accelerator Mentoring Programme, which saw them paired with mentors who supported them in areas such as public speaking, gaining confidence working with clients, planning to continue in higher education, and growing businesses.
The programme was designed by Sustainable Energy for All (SEforALL) and the Global Women’s Network for the Energy Transition (GWNET) to accelerate the careers of women in junior or middle-management positions in energy access, supporting their pathways to leadership while fostering a global network of mentorship, knowledge-sharing and empowerment.
