- Sustainable Capacity Building for Decentralization Project
- Loan 1964, 10 Dec 2002
The project is expected to contribute significantly to improving
women's participation in regional governments. Given the clear
correlation between empowerment, poverty, and gender on the one
hand and the key role that the regional governments play in social
development on the other, the need for greater participation by
women in government is evident. Gender mainstreaming conditionalities
are incorporated in the Project to support specific reforms and
commitments in regions concerning merit-based appointments, promotions,
training and other opportunities for women's training and other
opportunities for women's advancement. A Gender Action Plan (GAP)
will be developed and will form an integral element of the district
capacity-building action plan. The project will ensure that mechanisms
are in place to review and secure the integration of gender concerns
throughout project implementation. A loan covenant supports the
provisions.
