Gender concerns and experiences, as well as those of policymakers and programme implementers, should be considered when formulating policies and programmes in all areas of public life, including politics, business, and society. This ensures that women and men benefit from policies and programmes in the same way, while preventing inequalities from being perpetuated. This should also be integrated in the designing of machines used in homes too. This research seeks to investigate the impact of gender design on the construction of a fuel-less generator for female artisans in Nigeria. Investing in the development of a female-friendly fuel-less generator will be a significant step forward in reducing the sufferings of female business venture owners in Nigeria while causing little or no environmental impact. For this paper only responses related to whether this research will be a step in the right direction in addressing gender bias to previous work, that female artisans will be comfortable operating and using the new device and that Gendered centre design will receive a boost in product design especially in Nigeria are considered. The result showed that gendered centre design will receive a boost as a result of this research.
