Summary:	Gender equality is an important indicator of a country's progress toward sustainable development and is one of the Millennium Development Goals. Yet World Bank teams often find gender equality a difficult concept to include in projects. One solution is to conduct a targeted gender assessment, which can help ensure that a project design addresses gender concerns and promotes equitable access to public services. Such an assessment was conducted in 2001-02 as part of the preparation of Peru's Justice Services Improvement Project.
