Entry Points for Integrating Gender Considerations in Resilient Infrastructure

11 Nov 2024

Natural hazards disproportionately affect women due to existing social and economic inequalities, increasing their vulnerability and exposure to GBV and economic instability during disasters. This report highlights the necessity of integrating gender-sensitive approaches into infrastructure development to address these disparities effectively. Utilizing the World Bank’s Gender Tag methodology, the report identifies gender gaps, proposes targeted interventions, and establishes indicators for monitoring and evaluation. This report presents a strategic framework for incorporating gender perspectives into resilient infrastructure development, focusing on the transportation, water, and energy sectors. The aim is to enhance disaster resilience while promoting gender equality, aligning with the commitments of the GFDRR and the World Bank Group’s initiatives in inclusive DRM and gender equality.
