This report tells the story of a gender
pilot that was carried out in water users'
organizations for irrigated agriculture in the Peruvian
highlands or Sierra region. It was designed upon the request
of Peru's ministry of agriculture, with the objective
to strengthen the role of women in water management and to
improve their condition as agricultural producers. At first,
a gender diagnostic was carried out to better understand the
different barriers that hinder the attendance and thus
equality of participation of women in trainings and
meetings. After this diagnostic, a discussion followed about
the importance for a community of including women in water
management. In response to these diagnostics and subsequent
discussions, the water users resolved to set specific
targets for becoming more inclusive organizations, and
shaped the content and timing of their activities to allow a
greater number of women to participate. The pilot, carried
out between 2007 and 2009, improved women s technical
skills, self-esteem and position in the water users
organizations, and has raised awareness among the community
members about women's specific needs and expectations
related to water management for irrigated agriculture. The
participatory methodology used in this pilot was designed
with the support of the World Bank group gender action plan,
and is currently being scaled up in the World Bank financed
Sierra Irrigation Subsector Project (PSI Sierra). |
