Energy for Rural Livelihoods

A Framework for Sustainable Decision Making

Edición de la obra Energy for Rural Livelihoods

"The energy challenge for the 21st century is to integrate social priorities, environmental issues, financial constraints, gender differences, demographic characteristics, technical considerations, and institutional frameworks into a coherent decision-making framework. Energy for Rural Livelihoods is an accessible, illustrated guidance manual for this task." "This book presents a range of analytical techniques integrating technical, economic, social, institutional, and environmental criteria for 'good practice' in energy provision. The practical application of these techniques in real situations is described and illustrated through case studies and experiences from previous rural energy activities from around the developing world." "This is a key text for energy analysts, policy makers, development workers, researchers, academics, and energy industry experts."--Jacket.
