Rutherford, Thomas F. | Tarr, David G. | Jensen, Jesper
This diagnosis has shown that there is great experience in incorporating and empowering women in water projects and sanitation, but the industry has not yet assimilated gender policies and clear strategies to guide its incorporation and mainstreaming institutions at different levels (political, design and execution), as well as the different phases of the project cycle. The aim of this paper is to recognize the findings and recommendations of gender diagnosis and propose guidelines for a strategy on projects for water and sanitation in the Andean region. The findings and recommendations are presented in four levels: a) political macro sectoral b) planning and formulation of projects c) institutional capacity on gender issues, and d) the results achieved, so far, in community users of water systems and sanitation. The document contains three parts: Part 1: The general context: Bolivia and Peru, identifies the context and the Andean population involved, by presenting features on gender relations in the Andean and Amazon areas and access to quality water services and sanitation in the region. Part 2: State of the incorporation of gender in the water and sanitation sector. Finally, part 3: The value added working with gender, and how the proposed 3 guidelines make for a strategy that propels gender equity in water and sanitation projects.
