About Us

Practical Action is an international development organization with a vision for a world that works better for everyone.

We exist to change the systems that keep people in poverty and vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, nature loss and pollution. We work alongside communities to build resilient livelihoods and thriving, inclusive societies.

In Kenya, we have been active since 1990, implementing impactful programmes that have changed lives. We are a trusted partner to the national and county governments, private sector, communities, funders and development organizations. We operate offices in Nairobi, Kisumu and Kakamega.

We are committed to advancing gender equality and women’s empowerment through all our work. This includes programmes, knowledge sharing, advocacy, external communications, and our own organisational development. At a minimum, we ensure that all our work is gender sensitive, seeking gender transformative approaches as our overall ambition and in accordance with context.

Purpose Of The Assignment

The aim of this consultancy is to undertake a GEDSI analysis in Homabay and Siaya counties to explore gender specific barriers, needs and opportunities within targeted county governments and community systems level in the energy space in specific counties. The result of the assessment will be used to develop an evidence-driven gender action plan and ensure that gender transformative approaches are mainstreamed across the program’s design, implementation, monitoring, evaluation, as well as in the development of the project’s learning agenda. The process will enhance the integration of Gender Equity Disability and Social Inclusion principles in the

County Energy Plans, Energy plans and investment prospectuses to make them accessible, affordable and sustainable for all community members in the identified counties.

Specific Objectives Of The Assignment

The specific objectives of the analysis include:

• To better understand the root causes of gender inequalities i.e. the barriers and other underlying issues that are preventing gender transformation within the County Energy Plans (CEPs), Energy Policies, and Investment Prospectuses policy environment.
• To support the mainstreaming of gender transformation across the Theory of Change based on analysis findings and draw a project-specific gender Action plan.
• To draw an effective gender inclusion approach into the project’s Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability and Learning (MEAL) frameworks, project work plan, budget and key program interventions, including the development of project influencing plan.
• To support the design and development of effective gender capacity building initiatives and tools for the PACE project participants, stakeholders and staff.
