(See Related Story Above on International Dissemination Workshop Under LATEST NEWS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS) Website for a research study funded by the UK's Department for International Development (DFID) Knowledge and Research Programme (KaR) on understanding the role of energy services in urban poor livelihoods. This study builds on earlier work by ITDG and Future Energy Solutions and its aim is to provide a clear understanding, based on micro-level gender disaggregated data, of the issues around urban energy supply and use for poor people's livelihood strategies. An international research team is headed by Joy Clancy from the Technology and Development Group (TSD), University of Twente in the Netherlands, working together with partners from Nigeria (Friends of the Environment), Brazil (Winrock International) and the Philippines (APPROTECH) and ENERGIA (the international network on gender and energy). The study, begun in 2003 and lasting for 23 months, collected empirical data to provide micro-level insights into the role that energy plays in enabling poor urban women and men's strategies to create sustainable livelihood strategies and outcomes. Much needed empirical evidence of the impacts of commercialisation and privatisation in the energy sector on urban poor peoples' access to energy services and the sustainability of their livelihoods was also collected. The research maps the impacts of fuel price increases on sustainable livelihoods of poor urban households while also allowing for the opportunity to field test gender and energy data tools being developed by the TSD. The three country partners disseminated the results through national workshops as well as other mechanisms, and a final international workshop was held in London in November of 2005 and will be followed by a special issue of ENERGIA News dedicated to the theme of urban energy, poverty and gender.
