The five chapters are: Introduction to the guide; Gender and integrated water resources management; Guide to resources on gender and the water sector; Gender mainstreaming in the project cycle; and Gender mainstreaming in water sector policies and institutions. The guide also includes Case studies and good practices. The Guide is aimed at water and gender practitioners and professionals as well as persons responsible for gender mainstreaming, and anybody else who is interested in the water sector. It is available in four languages: English, French, Spanish and Arabic. Most sections of the latter three versions are translations from English, but some are original texts specific to the language region.
