| description | Energy is considered essential for Human Development. However, rural electrification projects rarely include rural population’s aspirations, especially indigenous people’s aspirations.

We argue that integrating the multilevel perspective to the analysis of technological development projects it is essential for the design of alternatives adapted to their diverse realities and to highlight the plurality of energy visions. |
