emPOWER*?<\/h1>\n

There is a lot of work on “empowering” people whose voices haven’t been heard and many interpretations of the term. This page describes our motivations and approach.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ text_font=”||on||||||” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

We use the term emPOWER* (with a star) to differentiate this evolving package from other good work on empowerment.<\/p>\n

emPOWER* integrates…<\/h1>\n

1. Resource-focused interventions adapted to local context and community choice<\/p>\n

2. Empowerment training with an emphasis on personal agency and leadership<\/p>\n

3. Energy-services framing that recognizes the interdependence between
equity, sustainability and community resilience<\/p>\n
