The objective of this study was to go
beyond a standard gender review of project design to
increase knowledge of how and to what extent World Bank
agriculture projects address gender issues during
implementation. The study introduces a tool to track gender
mainstreaming in the implementation phase of a project. The
tool is then used to review the portfolio of current
agriculture projects, establish a baseline, and suggest
targets for gender mainstreaming for the future portfolio.
There is a need to move beyond quality at entry to have a
more realistic picture of gender mainstreaming in projects.
The Agriculture Action Plan (2013-15) explicitly emphasizes
the importance of reducing gender inequality in access to
assets, services, collective action, and opportunities. The
plan specifies key actions to increase the share of
agriculture and rural development projects by 2015. That
will (1) include gender analysis in its design, with a
target of 100 percent, and (2) include gender mainstreaming
in all three dimensions of design (analysis, actions, and
ME), with a target of 75 percent. The reason for the 75
percent target is that gender analysis conducted at entry,
for a relatively small set of projects, can reveal that
gender specific actions and related ME are not needed. The
focus on all three elements of design raises the bar for an
agriculture project beyond the World Bank standard of
satisfactorily addressing at least one of these elements. In
addition, from FY15, all agriculture projects will be
reviewed by the Gender team in the Agriculture Global
Practice (GFADR) in terms of gender mainstreaming at concept
note, preparation, and appraisal stages. This review
indicates that a rating of gender Informed at entry is no
guarantee that a project will successfully mainstream gender
during implementation, although it is a good basis for
success. In addition, this review shows that it is critical
to track gender mainstreaming throughout the project cycle
to identify gaps and opportunities in real time. Finally,
the review shows that if a project neglects gender during
the design phase, it can still catch up during implementation. |
