| Summary: | The South Asia Regional Gender Action
Plan FY 16-21 (RGAP) applies a gender lens to the World Bank
Group (WBG's) work in the region. In doing so, it
outlines a path to enhance the potential of women and men as
agents of change towards WBG`s twin goals of poverty
reduction and shared prosperity. The RGAP helps guide staff
and management to prioritize objectives in tackling the most
critical and persistent gender issues. It offers
recommendations on how the Bank's Global Practices,
Cross-Cutting Solutions Areas, and the International
Financial Corporation can work with country teams to
accelerate progress toward improving outcomes for both women
and men in the South Asia region (SAR). By understanding how
gender plays into the sector-specific technical issues of
each GP and the development outcomes of each country—and
through improved knowledge of evidence-based approaches that
effectively reduce gender gaps—SAR can address poor gender
outcomes more strategically and collaboratively than ever before. |
