  2. Gender Mainstreaming Progress since 2001 Annual Gender Monitoring Reports show the following: • Higher level of attention to gender issues in operations than in analytical work, but……………………. • For both operations & ESW, gender-specific analysis & actions are predominantly in social (not economic) sectors

  3. Social Sectors Ahead of Economic Sectors(2006)

  4. Objective of Gender Action Plan (GAP) Advance women’s economic empowerment in client countries to: • Promote inclusive and pro-poor (shared) growth • Accelerate the implementation of MDG 3 • Enhance the effectiveness of development activities

  5. The GAP’s Framework Policy levelAgency level Make markets work for women Empower women to compete in markets

  6. The GAP’s Four Markets Policy Level Agency Level Infrastructure Increases Access to all 4 Markets

  7. How can Infrastructure Improve Women’s Economic Empowerment? • Increase productivity (e.g., irrigation water, electricity, transport). • Reduce women’s and girls’ burden of household chores and save time. • Raise living standards of household members. • Provide employment opportunities in construction and maintenance programs.

  8. GAP Funding Allocations by Market (as of 2009)

  9. Guiding Principles for GAP Work • Emphasis on building capacity in the area of gender and economics, women’s economic participation • Emphasis on piloting new and scaling up proven interventions • Emphasis on measuring results, through impact evaluations • Integrated into or complement existing Bank programs – analytics, lending, or grants

  10. Working on Gender Issues at the Country Level:Some Challenges • Gender is not a sector, but cross-cutting • No obvious counterpart for Bank to engage with • To date, not the Bank’s area of comparative advantage • Link between policy implications of empirical findings & lending is often not clear
