Webinar: Women Powering the Energy Transition—A Celebration of African Women in Clean Energy
RegisterAbout This Event
The clean energy transition cannot scale fast enough without the women who power it—as decision-makers, engineers, entrepreneurs, and advocates. As the transition accelerates, supporting the current and future clean energy workforce is more urgent than ever, and no community can afford to overlook the women leaders driving progress on the ground.
The Energy Transition Academy (ETA) at RMI empowers women leaders, strengthens their networks, and supports them in advancing clean energy projects and inclusive organizational practices. In doing so, ETA contributes to a faster, more equitable, and inclusive energy transition.
On March 18th, RMI, GWNET, and SEforALL will come together in celebration of International Women’s Day under the UN theme, “Rights. Justice. Action. For ALL Women and Girls.” We will spotlight women who are catalyzing project implementation and delivering results across the clean energy sector. From South Africa to Madagascar, Zambia, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, and Kenya, our speakers and alumnae are not waiting for change—they are building it.
About GWNET
The Global Women’s Network for the Energy Transition (GWNET) is a non-profit international association that empowers women in energy through interdisciplinary networking, advocacy, training, and mentoring.
About SEforAll
SEforALL is committed to empowering young women to participate fully in the energy transition by creating education and training opportunities that will prepare them for careers within the renewable energy sector. Projects involving local deployment of renewable energy solutions, energy planning or other forms of technical assistance provide valuable learning opportunities.
SEforALL’s STEM Traineeship is aimed at training young women to prepare them for careers in the sustainable energy sector. The programmes are tailored towards ongoing in-country workstreams, allowing practical application of skills and knowledge to the context of energy transition in the target countries. It provides trainees with a robust learning experience by teaching both technical and soft skills linked to direct employment. By 2025, 46 women have been supported through the traineeship progamme across Colombia, Ecuador, Ghana, Hondruas, Kenya, Mexico, Panama, Tanzania, and Sierra Leone.
