Gender assessment : Argentina Provincial Reform Loan III
Icochea, Olympia Beatriz
As part of the preparation of the Argentina Provincial Reform Loan III, a gender assessment was undertaken in 1999. The gender assessment aimed to ensure that project objectives and design address both men's and women's needs and demands, and to assess the project gender impact. To this end, the assessment focuses on gender inequalities of access to and benefits from education and health services, and women's position as producers of public and social services. The main findings can be divided into two groups: 1) men and women faced different constraints when accessing social services (both education and health); on the other hand, the institutions of the social sectors did not have the capacity or instruments to be responsive to the different needs and demands of men and women. 2) The analysis identified the lack of mechanisms within the public sector management to guarantee equal professional development opportunities to their male and female employees, and in particular to female teachers. The assessment concludes that the project provides an excellent opportunity to address both practical and strategic gender needs identified by the assessment. A gender action plan has been designed and discussed with the Government of Catamarca to be followed during project implementation.
