Abstract

This manual provides guidelines on planning and implementing water and sanitation projects and programmes with a gender-aware approach. It first explains the following key concepts: gender, gender awareness, gender policy, partnership, integrated water supply projects, environmental problems, and sustainability. This is followed by an overview of types of projects with different approaches towards gender and reasons why a special policy on gender is needed in water and sanitation projects. The main part of the document then discusses the different stages in the project cycle: identification, preparation, planning, training, implementation, management and operation, and monitoring and evaluation. For each stage, those issues which are important for a gender-aware approach are highlighted. Throughout the document experiences from Netherlands financed projects in Africa are included.
