🚨HIRING: GENDER RESEARCH OFFICER🚨

Malaysia doesn’t yet have a National Gender and Climate Change Focal Point, but it needs one.

KAMY is building the institutional and operational pathway to get there, and it starts with rigorous research: mapping stakeholders across Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah and Sarawak, running FGDs and KIIs with government, civil society, and communities, and turning that evidence into recommendations that can actually shape gender-responsive climate governance.

We’re looking for a Gender Research Officer to lead this work, from desk research and policy review to designing consultations and drafting the final report.

🗓️ Start: 1 October 2026
⏰ 14.5 months (full-time, 35-40 hours/week)
💰 Salary: RM4,700/month (gross)
📍 Location: Based in Klang Valley (office in Cheras, Kuala Lumpur), hybrid, with travel to Sabah and Sarawak

📩 Apply by 1 September 2026, 11:59 PM to [email protected]

On 8 August, we held our Roundtable Discussion on Climate Change, GEDSI and Economic Realities from the Perspective of Women Entrepreneurs in partnership with Women Of Will (WOW)

Picture this: your raw material costs keep climbing. Your electricity bill creeps up every month. Your supplier tells you delivery costs have gone up too. You hear people talk about the “energy transition,” but no one explains what it actually means for a small business like yours. And when big decisions about energy and the economy get made, whose opinion gets asked, and who is usually left out of the room?

This roundtable brought together women entrepreneurs , many of whom in informal sectors and members of the WOW network to talk about exactly that.

Together we looked at how climate change and rising energy costs are already part of running a business and running a household, often at the same time.

➡️ Managing the shop and the home, often in the same breath, with no line between the two.
➡️ Doing double the work when floods or heatwaves hit, on top of an already full day.
➡️ Bills going up, sales going down, stock spoiling, savings drained to cover emergencies.
➡️ Being the one who shows up, but rarely the one whose voice shapes the decision.

We also talked honestly about the assumptions that follow women entrepreneurs everywhere they go. That a small or informal business is not “real work.”

That women do not understand energy or policy.

That help alone is enough, without asking what kind of help is actually needed.

These assumptions add up, and they are part of why the benefits of a cleaner economy do not always reach the women doing the work on the ground.

Much of the day was spent listening. The women in that room are already living the realities that climate and energy policies are meant to address, and their experience belongs at the centre of those decisions, not on the sidelines.

Thank you to everyone who gave their time, shared their stories and spoke honestly about what they carry. This roundtable is one step in a longer process of making sure women entrepreneurs are not an afterthought in Malaysia’s energy transition.

Before you can advocate for justice in an energy transition, you need to understand the energy system.

A while ago, the KAMY team held an internal Energy Systems 101 training with Ganesha Pillai, energy analyst and industry practitioner and a longtime collaborator of ours.

This was both a refresher and a foundation-building session for our GEDSI-JET and JET-BHR teams, who came in sharp on justice frameworks but needed the technical grounding to match.

Over four hours, we covered:
→ How Malaysia’s electricity system actually works, and where it’s heading
→ What NETR and LT-LEDS are really saying and what they’re not
→ Why “70% renewable energy” is more complicated than the headline suggests
→ Carbon pricing, greenwashing, and why emissions numbers are contested
→ The human stakes: indigenous land rights, energy access gaps, and who bears the cost of transition

The goal wasn’t to turn our team into energy engineers. It was to make sure we can hold our own in a room with energy stakeholders, and not get lost or deflected when things get technical.

Because the just transition conversation doesn’t happen in a vacuum. It happens in policy rooms, FGDs, and stakeholder engagements where the technical framing can easily crowd out the justice questions, if you’re not prepared.

Thank you Ganesha for making this accessible, rigorous, and genuinely fun!

Malaysia’s Climate Change Bill has been delayed again and again, we still don’t have a climate law. But even when it does come, one gap keeps getting missed: we still don’t have a National Gender and Climate Change Focal Point (NGCCFP).

An NGCCFP helps coordinate gender mainstreaming across climate policy, improve gender-disaggregated data, and connect Malaysia to UNFCCC technical support and resources.

The good news: a Gender Action Plan is now being considered under NDC 3.0, a real chance to close this gap without starting from scratch. For ordinary Malaysians, this means climate policy that actually accounts for how climate change hits women and caregivers differently, instead of treating gender as an afterthought.

Right now, Malaysia is one of only a handful of ASEAN countries (alongside Brunei, Laos, Myanmar & Timor-Leste) without one.

Gender-responsive climate governance isn’t about adding women in, it’s about designing policy that reflects how climate change actually affects us.

Growth is rarely comfortable, and last month, KAMY’s team and board leaned into that discomfort during an internal workshop on CRPD and Disability Advocacy, led by Hasbee of SIUMAN Collective, a collective of persons with psychosocial disabilities and allies fighting for the emancipation, socioeconomic equity, and political equality of the psychosocially disabled in Malaysia.

As a feminist climate justice organisation, we talk a lot about intersectionality. But talking about it and actually building it into our practice are two different things.

This session meant sitting with the questions we didn’t know how to ask, admitting what we didn’t know, and being okay with getting things wrong in the room so we can get them right in our work.

Disability inclusion isn’t a checkbox, it’s a practice that demands we slow down, listen, and unlearn assumptions we didn’t even know we were carrying.

From accessibility in our events to how we frame disability within climate justice and Just Energy Transition, this workshop pushed us to ask harder questions of ourselves and our programmes.

We are so grateful to Hasbee for creating a space where every question was welcome, no matter how basic it felt, and for sharing his expertise and lived experience so generously with us.

A while ago, the KAMY team visited Zenviro’s recycling facility (https://www.zenvirosolar.com/), one of the few operations in Malaysia actually equipped to process solar panels at end-of-life. This visit is part of our ongoing JET-BHR research into solar panel circularity and producer responsibility.

The numbers explain why this matters. If Malaysia hits its NETR target of 59GW installed solar capacity, that translates to an estimated 3.28 million tonnes of solar panel waste, and there is currently no dedicated national regulation governing how it gets handled.

Decommissioned panels fall under general or scheduled waste frameworks never designed for them. Licensed scheduled-waste (SW110) recyclers often lack the technical capacity to process PV modules, so panels get rejected, stockpiled, or pushed into informal recycling, where the common method is brute-force dismantling for the aluminium frame alone, destroying the glass and damaging components that contain hazardous materials.

At Zenviro, we saw the whole process: panels broken down layer by layer, glass crushed into recyclable cullet, materials sorted for recovery rather than scrapped. It’s a glimpse of what proper end-of-life infrastructure could look like, but right now, it exists without any Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) mandate requiring manufacturers or installers to fund or support it.

Other countries have already solved this. In the EU, manufacturers are legally required to pay for recycling their own solar panels, they can’t just walk away once the panel is sold. Malaysia said back in 2024 that it would create similar rules. Two years on, nothing has been published.

So as Malaysia scales up solar, the open question is: who pays when panels reach end-of-life, and is that being decided before the waste arrives, or after?

Budgets aren’t neutral. They’re political choices, and right now, most of them are gender-blind.

Less than 5% of national budgets globally have ever been analysed for gender impact. Women do 68% of the world’s unpaid care work, but that labour is invisible in national accounts.

Gender-Responsive Budgeting (GRB) changes this. Not by creating a separate “women’s budget,” but by applying gender analysis to ALL fiscal decisions: who gets what, who decides, and who gets left out.

In 2012, Penang became the first state to bring GRB to the local government level, then went further, merging it with participatory budgeting (Bajet Penyertaan Rakyat) to create GRPB. Communities don’t just get consulted. Women, elderly, youth, and persons with disabilities directly identify needs, co-design projects, and vote on how public money is spent. PWDC has driven this model for over 12 years.

That’s why our team went to Penang to learn from the people who built this. We spent 3 days with PWDC at KOMTAR for a GRB Basics Training. Foundations and analytical tools in the classroom, then into the field visiting four local government projects across MBSP and MBPP. At every site we asked: Who benefits? Who decides? Who may be excluded?

KAMY works on climate justice, just energy transition, business and human rights, and indigenous peoples’ rights. None of that is complete without asking where the money goes. GRB gives us that lens.

GRB isn’t a one-off training for us. It’s embedded into our programmes, our research, and every conversation we have with the government. Watch this space!

Workers are on the frontlines of Malaysia’s energy transition, but how often are they actually in the room when decisions get made?

Last Tuesday, KAMY hosted our third Focus Group Discussion under the JET-BHR research project, in partnership with UNI Malaysian Labour Centre (UNI-MLC). Having them in the room matters because a green transition that doesn’t protect workers isn’t a just one.

The session brought together 17 labour union representatives from across sectors: automotive, retail, postal, banking, healthcare, and more, to talk about solar waste governance, occupational safety, job loss, and what a just transition actually looks like on the ground.

Going green means nothing if the workers making it happen get left behind!
