Opportunities for Gender and Infrastructure: where do we go from here?
Take advantage of huge spending on infrastructure Don’t lose any opportunity to raise the gender issues Think both women and men Choose technological options which will create themost
jobs for both women and men, and those which will generate maximum benefits
Don’t stop at needs assessment or design stage: IMPLEMENT.
PARTNER with units/organizations which have gender competencies
