| description |
This report provides a gender review of
a decade and a half of World Bank infrastructure lending for
1,246 projects. The objective of this review is to assess
the status of and trends in gender integration in the World
Bank infrastructure portfolio, and to establish a baseline
for monitoring and enhancing gender integration in line with
commitments made for the 2006 gender action plan. The
portfolio review reveals important progress on gender
integration in infrastructure operations. While an average
of 14 percent of infrastructure projects in 1995 applied
some attention to gender concerns in 1995, this climbed to
36 percent by 2009. The global average, moreover, hides
large strides made over time in four regions. In 2009, East
Asia and the Pacific, Middle East and North Africa, South
Asia, and Africa all included gender concerns in the design
of at least 50 percent of their infrastructure projects.
Hard work remains in consolidating and extending the gains
in gender coverage across the infrastructure portfolio. This
will require stronger management commitment, concerted
efforts, a plan with targets to achieve sustainable results,
resources, specialist staffing, and capacity enhancement of
staff. The portfolio review repeatedly found that supporting
gender equality and women's empowerment in
infrastructure operations have large benefits for the
communities; the actions not only increased women's
opportunities but also enhanced project effectiveness,
efficiency, and sustainability. |
