ENERGIA is an international network on gender and sustainable energy that links individuals and groups concerned with energy, sustainable development, and gender. Founded in 1995, ENERGIA is now active in Africa, Asia, Latin America and Oceania, as well as in Europe, North America and Australia. ENERGIA mainly focuses on capacity development to integrate gender and energy in policy, programmes and projects for sustainable development, and the consolidation of the network. ENERGIA's goal is to contribute to the empowerment of rural and urban poor women through a specific focus on energy issues. Direct beneficiaries, also involved in programme activities are:

1. Policymakers, planners, and project implementers of government institutions, NGOs, networks, multi- and bilateral donors, and private companies; and
2. Network members as partners actively taking part in programme activities, and receiving support for the enhancement of their capabilities, institution building of sub-networks, and for gender mainstreaming in their own organizations.
