The 3rd Annual Leadership Summit, organized by SAWIE and supported by USAID, brought together an inspiring group of leaders, including senior officials from the Indian and U.S. governments, industry pioneers, and energy experts from across South Asia. This event was a platform to discuss the pivotal role of women in shaping a sustainable energy future.
In this inspiring opening address, Dr. Steven Olive, Mission Director - India and Bhutan at USAID, delivers his remarks at the Third Edition of the South Asia Women in Energy Annual Leadership Summit 2024. He highlights the pressing need for gender diversity in the energy sector, acknowledging the current challenges where women make up only 16% of the workforce, with leadership representation even lower in South Asia.
Dr. Olive discusses the importance of empowering women, especially in regions like India, to take on leadership roles, as their participation is crucial to driving innovation, shaping policies, and addressing climate change. He emphasizes the collaborative efforts needed to create a more inclusive, resilient, and sustainable energy sector.
The speech also underscores the mission to increase women's representation in leadership across energy, industrial, and manufacturing sectors through mentorship, leadership development, and entrepreneurship. Dr. Olive thanks the key contributors to this cause and teams at USISPF and USAID, for their unwavering support.
