[世界银行]：Entry Points for Integrating Gender Considerations in Resilient Infrastructure

Entry Points for Integrating Gender Considerations in Resilient Infrastructure

Preface

The Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery (GFDRR) is committed to promoting gender equality and social inclusion in disaster risk management (DRM). GFDRR’s 2021-2025 strategy emphasizes the importance of gender equality, aligning with the World Bank Group’s Gender Strategy 2024-2030. GFDRR has a significant grant portfolio focusing on resilient infrastructure, with 70% of its resilient infrastructure portfolio integrating gender considerations. However, only 30% have monitoring mechanisms to address gender disparities.

Executive Summary

This report underscores the disproportionate impact of natural hazards on women due to existing social and economic inequalities. It highlights the necessity of incorporating gender-sensitive approaches in infrastructure development to mitigate these disparities. Using the World Bank’s Gender Tag methodology, the report identifies gender gaps and proposes targeted interventions.

Methodology

The report employs the World Bank’s Gender Tag methodology to identify gender gaps and propose interventions. It covers key areas such as transportation, water, and energy infrastructure.

Resilient and Inclusive Transportation Infrastructure

Gender Entry Points: Focus on access, safety, and mobility for women.
Gaps: Limited data and lack of gender-responsive policies.
Interventions: Develop gender-sensitive transport policies, improve public transportation, and enhance safety measures.
Indicators: Percentage of women using public transportation, gender-disaggregated accident data.
Key Takeaways: Addressing gender gaps in transportation can significantly improve resilience and inclusivity.

Resilient and Inclusive Water Infrastructure

Gender Entry Points: Ensure equitable access to water and sanitation facilities.
Gaps: Lack of gender-disaggregated data and inadequate gender-responsive policies.
Interventions: Implement gender-responsive planning and design, provide safe and accessible water points, and promote women’s participation in water management.
Indicators: Percentage of households with access to clean water, gender-disaggregated water usage data.
Key Takeaways: Improving water infrastructure through a gender-responsive lens can enhance community resilience.

Resilient and Inclusive Energy Infrastructure

Gender Entry Points: Promote energy access and affordability for women.
Gaps: Insufficient data and lack of gender-responsive policies.
Interventions: Develop gender-responsive energy access programs, provide training and financing for women, and ensure safety in energy-related activities.
Indicators: Percentage of women accessing clean energy, gender-disaggregated energy consumption data.
Key Takeaways: Ensuring energy access for women is crucial for building resilient and inclusive communities.
