This evaluation, which covers the period
 fiscal 2002-08, finds that the Bank made progress in gender
 integration, compared with an earlier evaluation by the
 Independent Evaluation Group (IEG) on gender covering the
 period fiscal 1990-99. Gender integration into Bank support
 increased both in quantity and in scope, and more than half
 of relevant projects integrated gender concerns. This
 evaluation recommends several actions to regain and sustain
 the momentum of gender integration that was evident in the
 first half of the evaluation period. These include
 redoubling efforts to institutionalize the accountability
 framework and develop the monitoring system envisioned in
 the 2001 gender strategy, establishing a results framework,
 and restoring a broader requirement for gender integration
 at the project level.Date

Gender Dimensions of Investment Climate Reform : A Guide for Policy Makers and PractitionersBlackden, Mark; Manuel, Clare; Simavi, Sevi (World Bank, 2012-03-19)Promoting women's economic empowerment is increasingly seen as an important driving force behind economic growth and the fight against poverty. Women's economic participation as entrepreneurs, employees, and leaders is recognized as a measure of a country's economic viability and dynamism. The guide starts with a brief section on the economic rationale for gender inclusion in investment climate reform work. It is then divided into nine modules. Recognizing the socioeconomic dimensions of gender-focused work, the core module outlines the broader, overarching framework within which gender-informed investment climate work can take place. It also focuses on the monitoring and evaluation framework, with particular emphasis on establishing appropriate baselines to facilitate the measurement of gender-informed changes in the business environment. The eight thematic modules provide specific guidance on key investment climate issues comprising: (i) public-private dialogue, (ii) business start-up and operation, (iii) business taxation, (iv) trade logistics, (v) secured lending, (vi) alternative dispute resolution, (vii) special economic zones, and (viii) foreign investment policy and promotion. Thematic modules are designed to guide the reader through the project cycle and present the three-step process: (a) diagnostic, (b) solution design, and (c) implementation and monitoring and evaluation.

Gender and EnvironmentWorld Bank (Washington, DC, 2013-02-25)This report focuses on the nexus of environment and gender equality, defined as equality of access to and control over natural resources and development benefits; and equality of access to decision-making and representation for environmental and natural resources management process. The report provides recommendations to expand women's opportunities to own land; expand men's and women's knowledge and participation in reducing exposure to environmental hazards; strengthen gender mainstreaming efforts at the national policy level; improve women's participation at national, regional and local levels; and expand women's involvement in demand-side accountability mechanisms for environmental governance.
