Linking demand, gender and poverty for sustainability
conference contribution
posted on 2018-02-12, 15:08 authored by Laxmi Paudyal, Michelle Moffatt, Viju JamesNEWAH began a gender mainstreaming process in January
1999 in its organisation and programme. At the programme
level this involved establishing a Gender and
Poverty (GAP) Unit comprising 6 operational teams of both
technical and social staff, which successfully piloted a GAP
approach in 5 communities in 5 regions of Nepal (three
gravity flow and two groundwater projects).
Some initial results of the GAP pilot projects suggest that
actions taken to target women and poorest community
members have been effective in leading to greater inclusion
of often excluded groups in making decisions throughout
the service planning and implementation process of projects.
Also that giving voice and choice to more community
people – the poor, better off, women and men, boys and
girls – and letting them influence (or control) the process of
the service establishment is empowering them to potentially
manage and sustain their services more effectively.
