| description |
The World Bank's current gender
policy resulted directly from the 2001 gender strategy
endorsed by the board. This evaluation which covers the
period fiscal 2002-08, finds that the Bank made progress in
gender integration compared with an earlier Independent
Evaluation Group (IEG) evaluation on gender covering the
period fiscal 1990-99. Gender integration into Bank support
increased both in quantity and in scope, and more than half
of relevant projects integrated gender concerns. With regard
to outcomes, detailed reviews were undertaken in 12 focus
countries, and the evaluation finds that Bank support likely
contributed to increased gender equality in three domains -
investment in human capital, access to economic assets and
opportunities, and voice in development - substantially in 4
of the 12 countries, modestly in another 6, and weakly in 2.
At the project level, 42 percent of relevant projects in the
12 focus countries generated substantial outcomes that
contributed to progress in one or more of these domains. The
objectives of the Bank's gender policy are directly
relevant to the Bank's mandate of poverty reduction and
economic development. The evaluation found another factor
that also tended to diminish the relevance of the
Bank's gender policy, namely the narrowing of the entry
point for gender integration at project appraisal to
specific priority sectors. The evaluation recommends several
actions to regain and sustain the momentum of gender
integration that was evident in the first half of the
evaluation period. These include redoubling efforts to
institutionalize the accountability framework and develop
the monitoring system envisioned in the 2001 gender
strategy, establishing a results framework, and restoring a
broader requirement for gender integration at the project level. |
