Renewable energies, Rural Woman and sustainable Development in rural area in Senegal (West Africa)

摘要

The third Millennium starts with major challenges whose one of the most important remains the access of a significant part of the world population, in particular Rural Women, to a sustainable development, with all that supposes as regards satisfaction of requirements in goods and additional material services for the ones and of primary education needs for the others. The realization of this ambition will require the installation of energy services adapted for all, in particular the resort to renewable energies. From their activities (cooking, search for wood of heating, search and pumping out of water, productive activities realization) and her position in the rural society (on the fringe of the society, exclusion from decisional authorities, mother, wife, etc), the Rural Woman is in the heart of the Rural Energy System. Thus, Senegal, in its strategy of the development and the exploitation of renewable energies, tries as far as possible, to involve the Rural Woman for launch the sustainable development of its rural world. It's why, today, learning the lessons from successes and the failures known at the time of the setting in of rural energy projects and/or programs, our country understood the need to position some actions in the field of renewable energies in favour (towards) of the Rural Woman while involving her in the realization. In most of the time, the results were reached, thus confirming the need that the Rural Woman has to be involved in the management of the renewable energies projects for a rural sustainable development.
