| Abstract | This report represents the first Gender in Water Operations Review, also known as the Gender Scan. The Gender Scan examined a 25% sample of water-related loans between 1995-2000, a total of 21 projects. The report is divided into four sections. The first is an outline of the policy framework and institutional procedures for mainstreaming gender in ADB water operations. It summarizes relevant findings from existing reviews of the Gender and Development (GAD) and Water Policies' implementation. The second section, the Gender Scan Findings, include the findings relating to the desk review of 21 water-related loan projects, field visits to 4 water-related projects and interviews with project officers and key informants. The third section draws out the main analytical conclusions relating to adherence to the GAD Policy, and to qualitative improvements to promote more effective project implementation and impact. The recommendations in the fourth section are relating both to policy adherence and to qualitative improvements to current. (authors abstract) |
