| Summary: | The World Bank is committed to
addressing gender equality in energy operations as part of
both its new gender strategy and its gender monitoring
system,known as the Gender Tag. The World Bank Group Gender
Strategy (FY16–23) focuses on four main objectives: (i)
Improving Human Endowments; (ii) Removing Constraints for
More and Better Jobs; (iii) Removing Barriers to Women’s
Ownership and Control of Assets; and (iv) Enhancing Women’s
Voice and Agency and Engaging Men and Boys; The Gender Tag
asks teams to establish strong links among gender analysis,
actions, and monitoring and evaluation. It expects teams to
establish a logical results chain to demonstrate how they
will address gender gaps identified in the analysis through
particular actions, and how they will monitor the progress
of these actions. These one-pagers provide hands-on,
practical guidance to help task teams close gender gaps in
energy operations. They address four energy
subsectors—energy access, energy policy, renewable energy,
and transmission and distribution—and provide entry points
for achieving objectives of the Gender Strategy. The
guidance is designed to help task teamsstart the dialogue
about how they could close gender equality gaps in their
operations both internally as well as with clients. The
entry points draw on lessons learned from World Bank energy
operations that successfully closed gender equality gaps, as
well as from the literature on gender and energy. |
