Under the STRENGTHEN2 initiative, this report assesses the employment impacts of the Ecler Ivoire project - a rural electrification project in Côte d'Ivoire of 12 million euros financed by the European Union. The main findings show that the jobs created are predominantly occupied by adult men, to the detriment of women and young people (aged 15 to 24). As a result, the report puts forward policy recommendations aimed at improving employability and increasing opportunities and working conditions for women and young people in Côte d'Ivoire's energy sector.
