Outline

What are our commitments, and why?

• Major commitments - some longstanding, others new.

IDA Commitments, Scorecard and Development Committee paper, Sept 2011

• Significant IDA donor interest in promoting a real shift in operational focus.

• Major opportunity to ramp up efforts to follow up on the insights and momentum created by the WDR 2012

Strategic Directions for the WBG in light of WDR2012

1. Informing country policy dialogue

2. Enhancing country level gender diagnostics3. Scaling up lending for domestic priorities 4. Investing in gender-relevant data and evidence

5. Leveraging partnerships

Discussed by the Executive Board on August 23, 2011Endorsed by Development Committee on September 24, 2011

So what does the World Bank need to do differently ?

Increase gender-informed financing: one key element

Definition:

Gender-informed operations

systematically consider

gender inequalities, as

reflected in the underlying

analysis, actions and/or

monitoring and evaluation

arrangements.

Methodology for monitoring financing commitments

Analysis and/or consultation on gender related issues:

Yes No Specific actions to address the distinct needs of women and girls, or men and

boys, and/or positive impacts on gender gaps:

Yes No Mechanisms to monitor gender impact to facilitate gender-disaggregated

analysis.   Yes No

If “Yes” is selected for any of the three dimensions, operation is deemed gender informed.

New streamlined methodology for tracking gender-informed financing, tracked via AIS

coding by TTLs.

Program and Results

Follow through with a gender-

informed program and results framework.

Thinking about gender in Country Assistance Strategies

OP/BP 4.20 mandates that all CASes draw on and discuss the findings of a gender assessment.

How to approach ?

• Vietnam CPS 2012-2016 will support the Government in four cross-cutting areas.

Vision

• Peru CPS FY12-FY16 identified gender gaps in endowments, economic opportunities and women´s agency.

Diagnosis

• Uganda CAS FY11-15 gender-disaggregates targets and milestones.

Thinking about gender in DPLs

• Directly target existing gender inequalities– Pakistan PRSC 2 (2007 ) includes the revision of three laws that

constrain female labor participation.

• Can narrow existing gender disparities in the face of a reform– Egypt Third Financial DPL (2010) supports financial sector reform and,

as reported in the PSIA, will benefit female headed enterprises and women’s access to finance.

• Reduce and eliminate adverse impacts identified in the PSIA– Serbia programmatic public expenditure DPLs (2009 and 2011) support

a new pension law (triggers for the second DPL), which raises the minimum pension, and protects women on survivor‘s pensions, building on PSIA results.

• Support institutional and policy reforms– Pernambuco (Brazil) Expanding Opportunities, Enhancing Equity DPL

(2012) includes prior action to create a permanent women’s secretariat and supports the secretariat’s technical skills for policy formulation

Gender-informed actions are actions that:

•Peru React II DPL, the institutional births PSIA (2008) informed the DPL-supported actions.

Analysis

• Pakistan PRSC II includes amendments to three labor laws to improve labor market flexibility and increase female labor force participation.

• Pernambuco Brazil DPL includes creation of Permanent Secretariat for Women.

Actions

• The Indonesia seventh DPL includes the proportion of female heads of households that received social assistance.

Good Practice in IL

• Zambia Malaria Booster Project Additional Financing Project explores female malaria morbidity and mortality and recommends involving men in malaria awareness campaigns to encourage behavior change.

Identification-Concept

• Papua New Guinea Urban Youth Employment Project identifies limited participation of women in project activities as a risk; targets quota of at least a third of trainees to be young women.

Concept-Appraisal

• Kyrgyz Republic Second on-Farm Irrigation: includes a gender survey as part of the M&E framework to identify gender gaps in water user association participation and on-farm water management, and ways to enhance the role of women.

Supervision-Evaluation

Uganda: A small-grants program for small-scale mining targeted female salt miners, and allowed them to increase profits.

Afghanistan: Horticulture and Livestock Program targets female producers: number of women’s producers’ groups receiving extension messages, more than doubled between 2010 and 2011, to 361, and 50% of women’s producers’ groups engaged in savings activity compared to 46% of men’s groups.

Peru : Rural Transport Project (PROVIAS) instituted quotas for women's participation: that 10% of micro-enterprise workers in road rehabilitation and 20% of members of rural roads committees be women. By February 2012, 24% of the staff of microenterprises and members on rural roads committees were women.
