RUWES joined key stakeholders at the National Policy Dialogue themed “Advancing Gender-Sensitive Renewable Energy: Expanding Women’s Participation, Adoption, and Leadership across the Energy Value Chain in Nigeria”, held on 11th November 2025.

The dialogue convened policymakers, development partners, private sector actors, and women-led organizations to chart pathways for inclusive renewable energy investments that empower women in Sustainable Agriculture and lithium mining across West Africa.

Our Head of Secretariat, Mrs. Jumaima Ella, participated as a panelist in the session on “Strengthening Policy Frameworks and Investments to Drive Gender-Sensitive Renewable Energy Transition.” She emphasized the need for gender-responsive financing, capacity building, and policy integration to ensure that women—especially in rural and mining communities benefit fully from the clean energy transition.
