Socio-Economic and Gender Impact Analysis of Low-Carbon and Climate Resilient Electric Mobility

Antigua and Barbuda is advancing low-carbon and climate-resilient electric mobility initiatives. As these initiatives develop, the Department of Environment requires a practical report that helps explain how electric mobility may affect men and women in economically vulnerable communities within the national context. The assignment is intended to produce a useful, context-relevant report rather than a large-scale national study. The analysis should be proportionate to the available time and resources, make use of existing information where possible, and provide practical observations and recommendations. Purpose and Objective The objective of this assignment is to prepare a concise socio-economic and gender impact analysis establishing how low-carbon and climate-resilient electric mobility may affect men and women in economically vulnerable communities in Antigua and Barbuda. • Assess baseline socio-economic conditions, transport realities, and mobility-related constraints affecting economically vulnerable communities, using available data and limited additional inquiry where needed. • Examine how electric mobility may influence household economy, access, affordability, livelihoods, resilience, and local public health in a practical and context-sensitive way. • Ensure that findings, analysis, and recommendations are gender-disaggregated wherever data permits, with specific attention to differences affecting men and women. • Provide concise, practical recommendations relevant to project implementation and the national context.
