In spite of its importance in
development and poverty reduction, the water sector has had
one of the largest gaps between what women do and the
influence they actually have. In Kenya, women are still
underrepresented in water governance structures at all
levels, yet they are the most negatively affected by
unavailability of water. To substantially boost gender
integration in the country's water sector, a team of
professionals from the World Bank, the Water and Sanitation
Program (WSP), and the Ministry of Water and Irrigation
(MoWI) pooled their resources and energies. This smart
lesson illustrates how forging nurturing partnerships with a
wide variety of development partners can result in effective
strategies for gender mainstreaming allowing us to do far
more together than any one of us could do alone. |
