Renewstable Barbados Project Barbados

The Renewstable Barbados Project's Gender Action Plan establishes a framework to integrate gender-responsive interventions into the renewable energy sector, specifically focusing on hydrogen energy. The plan aims to increase women's participation in technical roles through internships and vocational qualifications, provide gender-sensitivity training on sexual exploitation, abuse, and harassment (SEAH) and sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV), and ensure inclusive community engagement. Key activities include developing a Community and Social Engagement Benefits Sharing Plan for St. Philip and establishing a participatory Steering Committee including gender experts from the University of the West Indies (UWI) or the Bureau of Gender Affairs.

• The project aims to improve the capacity of the renewable energy sector to address gender issues by implementing at least five gender-responsive interventions by the project's end.
• To increase female participation in technical roles, the project will develop National/CARICOM Vocational Qualification (N/CVQ) programmes for hydrogen energy and implement a Young Professional Green Hydrogen Energy Sector Internship Programme targeting at least 6 female interns.
• The plan includes the development of mandatory online and module-based training on Gender Sensitivity in Workspaces, specifically addressing sexual exploitation, abuse and sexual harassment (SEAH) and sexual and gender base violence (SGBV), with a budget of $40,000 for course development.
• Community engagement strategies include a Community and Social Engagement Benefits Sharing Plan for residents of St. Philip, focusing on women and youth, and the creation of an online Grievance/Complaints Mechanism.
• The project will provide education and training on the use of demineralized water from hydrogen plants and rainwater harvesting for irrigation, targeting small farmers and vulnerable populations with a goal of 50% female and 50% male participation.
• Governance will be managed through an Inclusive and Participatory Steering Committee (PSC) that includes representatives from the UWI Cave Hill Campus Institute for Gender and Development Studies (IDGS) or the Bureau of Gender Affairs (BGA).
