Webinar: Understanding Communities

Understanding Communities - Maximising the impacts of energy access by understanding the development opportunities, needs and aspirations of people and communities

This digital seminar is the second in the joint series hosted by WISIONS in cooperation with the ACCESS Coalition’s Learning Group. It focuses on how to maximise the development effects of energy access.

The ultimate goal of energy access interventions is to support people and communities to build prosperous and fulfilling lives. Local contextual factors determine what opportunities are feasible. Moreover, the meaning of ‘fulfilling lives’ varies for different people and communities according to cultural specifics such as values and aspirations.

Consequently, understanding and integrating the contextual and cultural aspects of people’s lives and capacities into the conception and realisation of energy projects is key for maximising the impacts of energy access.
