| description |
Gender equality is a vital instrument
for development. In trade related interventions, taking
gender equality into account not only spurs country
competitiveness, but also helps obtain better outcomes. The
World Bank's international trade department and the
gender and development unit in the Poverty Reduction and
Economic Management network are collaborating to produce
guidance notes in order to help people working in the field
identify and assess the gender dimensions of trade projects.
This guidance note focuses on trade facilitation and
logistics initiatives, which seek to improve customs and
border management, trade infrastructure, port efficiency,
transport security, logistics and transport services,
regional trade corridors and transit and multimodal
transport. The guidance note demonstrates why gender matters
for trade facilitation and logistics and how gender
dimensions can be integrated into trade facilitation and
logistics initiatives. The ultimate objective of the note is
to support World Bank staff to enhance the effectiveness of
the World Banks's trade-related work by integrating a
gender perspective into trade-related policy dialogue, and
the design, implementation and monitoring and evaluation of
trade facilitation and logistics initiatives. |
