Identifying Gender Constraints and Opportunities in Infrastructure Development

This project identifies cultural, financial, and skill-related constraints for women in infrastructure work, while highlighting opportunities such as gender advocacy efforts and budget transparency. It proposes gender-responsive components in project planning, design, operation, and maintenance, emphasizing the need for precise indicators and continuous gender evaluation. The proposal presents convincing arguments to the Cabinet on the health, economic, cost, sociological, and sustainability benefits of integrating gender-responsive elements into infrastructure projects.
