| 07/01/2005 | Evaluating a Decade of World Bank Gender Policy: 1990-1999 - As part of the Bank's poverty reduction mandate, the Bank's 1994 Operational Policy (OP) 4.20 on Gender Dimensions of Development aimed to reduce gender disparity and increase the participation of women in the economic development of their countries. This report combines the findings of two OED evaluations—“Integrating Gender in World Bank Assistance” and “The Gender Dimension of Bank Assistance: An Evaluation of Results”—on the relevance and results of this policy. |
| 07/26/2002 | Foreword, OED Regional Gender Workshops -
Forward to proceedings from Workshops on Gender written by Jan Piercy. |
| 07/26/2002 | Proceedings from Workshops on Gender - The Operations Evaluation Department (OED) and the Gender and Development Board (GDB), along with the Regional Vice-Presidencies and other development partners, organized gender workshops in Manila, Nairobi, Quito, and Warsaw, covering four regions of the Bank's operations. This series of gender workshops, conducted over eighteen months, served the dual purpose of consulting with civil society and government about their perceptions of the Bank's gender and development policy and actions, and strengthened awareness of gender and development issues as viewed by client stakeholders. These consultations fed into OED's Gender Evaluation as well as into the GDB's revision of the Bank's gender strategy. All four "chapters" produced from these workshops are based entirely on the presentations given at the workshops as well as on the views of the stakeholders. |
| 01/17/2002 | The Gender Dimension of Bank Assistance: An Evaluation of Results - The evaluation assesses Bank assistance in twelve countries (Bangladesh, Côte d'Ivoire, Ecuador, Gambia, Haiti, Kyrgyz Republic, Philippines, Poland, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Yemen and Zambia) with varying degrees of gender disparity. It finds that Bank assistance has achieved satisfactory results in the health and education sectors. The Bank has, however, been weak in promoting the economic participation of women and in improving the Borrower's institutional framework for gender, thereby reducing the overall development effectiveness of its assistance at a country level. |
| 12/03/2001 | Social Inclusion: Gender and Indigenous and Tribal Peoples Issues (Dec 3-5, 2001, New Delhi, India) - Summary of comments and suggestions from the workshop participants o Bank management on the revelance and implementation of the gender strategy |
| 10/25/2001 | Integrating Gender in World Bank Assistance - This evaluation examines the relevance of the Bank's gender policy and the institutional processes geared to integrate gender into Bank assistance over the past decade. Gender has received greater attention at the institutional level since the issuance of the gender policy in 1994 (OP 4.20). For example, the appointment of an External Gender Consultative Group (EGCG) in 1996 and the establishment of a Gender Sector Board (GSB) in 1997 increased visibility of gender issues within the Bank. In 1998, new gender thematic groups helped to demonstrate the possibilities of integrating gender considerations into Bank assistance in areas related to transport and law. At the operational level, the Bank has focused on girls' education and other matters of gender equity in a significant portion of its education sector activities. The Bank has addressed a number of issues related to women and gender through its health, population and nutrition projects. At the country level, more than 63 percent of the Country Assistance Strategies (CASs) since FY97 have integrated gender considerations satisfactorily. This report was discussed by the Committee on Development Effectiveness on October 18, 2000, and a report of that discussion is attached as Annex V. This report is now being re-issued for the purpose of more general disclosure. |

| 01/09/2001 | Evaluating Gender and Development at the World Bank - THE MAJORITY OF THE WORLD'S POOR ARE WOMEN and children. Women provide most of the child care. In many poor countries, they produce half of the food, and they make up a quarter of the work force in industry and a third in services. Women are more likely than men to spend the income they control on basic welfare. But gender is a missing link in many devel-opment programs. |
| 01/09/2001 | La evaluación de los aspectos relativos al género y el desarrollo en el Banco Mundial - La mayoría de las personas pobres del mundo son mujeres y niños. Las mujeres son las que más se dedican al cuidado de los niños. En muchos países pobres, ellas producen la mitad de los alimentos y representan un 25% de la fuerza laboral en el sector industrial y un tercio en el de los servicios. Las mujeres tienen más probabilidades que los hombres de gastar el salario que controlan en elementos básicos para el bienestar. Pero los asuntos relativos al género están ausentes en muchos programas de desarrollo. A pesar de su importancia para la economía, las mujeres no están representadas en forma proporcional entre los beneficiarios de los programas de desarrollo. Reducir las desigualdades por razón de sexo y ayudar a las mujeres para que participen en el desarrollo económico de sus países son aspectos clave para la misión del Banco Mundial de luchar contra la pobreza. |
| 01/09/2001 | La femme et le développement: une évaluation du rôle de la Banque - La majorité des pauvres sont des femmes et des enfants. Ce sont surtout les femmes qui prennent soin des enfants. Dans beaucoup de pays pauvres, les femmes produisent la moitié de l'alimentation et représentent le quart de la main-d'œuvre dans l'industrie et le tiers dans les services. Plus que les hommes, les femmes vont probablement consacrer les revenus qu'elles contrôlent aux dépenses essentielles de la famille. Et pourtant, beaucoup de programmes de développement ignorent le problème de la condition féminine. La part des bénéfices du développement qui revient aux femmes n'est pas proportionnelle à leur nombre, ni à leur importance dans la vie économique. Un élément essentiel du rôle de la Banque dans la lutte contre la pauvreté est la réduction des inégalités entre les sexes et une aide à la participation des femmes au développement économique des pays. |
| 10/26/2000 | Gender and Development in Latin America - a story of growing prosperity but increasing inequalities (Latin America and Caribbean Region workshop) - The Operations Evaluation Department (OED) and the Gender and Development Board (GDB), along with the Regional Vice-Presidencies and other development partners, organized gender workshops in Manila, Nairobi, Quito, and Warsaw, covering four regions of the Bank's operations.
