Modelling gendered innovation for the security of energy services in poor urban environments
Bibliographic Data
The security of energy services remains a challenge in poor urban Africa. Many households lack adequate energy technological devices to match modern energy carriers to fulfil their energy service needs. Females are most affected because of the culturally embedded gender roles at the household level. Despite the disproportionate gender roles in energy services, gender dimensions remain covert in the energy products innovation process. The study explored how gendered innovation augments energy innovation and addresses the problem relating to the security or fulfilment of energy services of households in poor urban environments. The study used system dynamics modelling to define the dynamic feedback loops, encompassing the security of energy services, households in poor urban environments, and gendered innovation. The results show that a gender‐sensitive, user‐centric innovation can help fulfil household energy services. The template model will be customised and applied in two poor urban environments in South Africa
