We are grateful to have had the amazing Martha Nanekoi Naikumi of KIPPRA Kenya join us as a keynote speaker for our #WTA2024 conference. She recognised e-mobility as an important component of sustainable transportation and noted that the transition to e-mobility is expected to create new jobs, and women are poised to take up more positions. She called for the evolution of the transportation industry in partnership with other forward-thinking organizations with similar missions because reliable transport is not merely an amenity but a critical need.

I am elated to share my latest white paper,'𝗘𝗩-𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗮: 𝗙𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗘𝗩 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗹 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗮’𝘀 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘁𝗵', co-authored with Neha Gupta. In this paper, we explore two critical questions: 1️⃣ Where are our women in the EV sector? 2️⃣ How do we leverage India’s electric mobility transition to catalyse women-led development? The white paper uses the PESTLE framework to identify key barriers hindering active women's participation in the EV sector and provides recommendations for the ecosystem to increase women’s participation across the EV value chain. The paper highlights key insights that collectively underscore the importance of a multi-faceted approach to catalyse women-led development in the electric mobility ecosystem, spanning reforms around policy, skill development, infrastructure, awareness, and finance. 📄 Dive into the full white paper here 👉 https://lnkd.in/gzMDZ-P3 A special shoutout to our incredible peer reviewers!
