I agree with Rodolfo, the voices of local people and especially women who use energy both for household and their small-medium enterprises should be taken into consideration in decision-making concerning energy use and accessibility.The how? is through liaising with existing women cooperatives as rightly said. The role of women in economic development has a lot to do with their access to energy. In addition Banks providing energy support services should partner with private sector organisations actively involved in providing energy services including sources like solar, wind, etc. to effectively supply energy requirements. Relying on one energy source has been the problem of energy insufficiency in Africa, taking advantage of available alternative sources, together with efficient management will contribute reducing energy problems.
