  2. What are our commitments, and why? • Major commitments - some longstanding, others new. IDA Commitments, Scorecard and Development Committee paper, Sept 2011 • Significant IDA donor interest in promoting a real shift in operational focus. • Major opportunity to ramp up efforts to follow up on the insights and momentum created by the WDR 2012

  3. Corporate Commitments: IDA16 and CSC Tier 1: Country Progress Tier 2: Development Results Tier 3: Operational Effectiveness • Plus, for example, strengthened efforts to integrating gender in fragile and conflict affected states • NOTE : Proposed expansion of TIERS I and II to include economic opportunities

  4. Strategic Directions for the WBG in light of WDR2012 Discussed by the Executive Board on August 23, 2011 Endorsed by Development Committee on September 24, 2011 So what does the World Bank need to do differently ?

  5. Increase gender-informedfinancing: one key element Definition: Gender-informed operations systematically consider gender inequalities, as reflected in the underlying analysis, actionsand/ormonitoring and evaluation arrangements.

  6. Methodology for monitoring financing commitments New streamlined methodology for tracking gender-informed financing, tracked via AIS coding by TTLs. • Analysis and/or consultation on gender related issues: • Yes No • Specific actions to address the distinct needs of women and girls, or men and boys, and/or positive impacts on gender gaps: • Yes No • Mechanisms to monitor gender impact to facilitate gender-disaggregated analysis. • Yes No • If “Yes” is selected for any of the three dimensions, operation is deemed gender informed.

  7. Financing trends: share of gender informed operations, FY10-FY12 Number of projects IDA 221 259 110 IBRD 171 134 66 FCS 71 67 21 All 384 384 171

  8. Significant regional variation in performance (FY12)

  11. Thinking about gender in Country Assistance Strategies OP/BP 4.20 mandates that all CASes draw on and discuss the findings of a gender assessment. • Diagnosis • Reflect key gender issues that were identified in the gender and related assessments • Vision • Assess how gender issues are included in a country's development strategy. • Program and Results • Follow through with a gender-informed program and results framework. How to approach ?

  12. Good Practice in recent CAS

  13. Lending Instruments: trends in gender-informedDPL and IL

  14. Thinking about gender in DPLs Design actions with gender lens Monitor progress using gender-related indicators Identify entry points

  15. Gender-informed actions are actions that: • Directly target existing gender inequalities • Pakistan PRSC 2 (2007 ) includes the revision of three laws that constrain female labor participation. • Can narrow existing gender disparities in the face of a reform • Egypt Third Financial DPL (2010)supports financial sector reform and, as reported in the PSIA, will benefit female headed enterprises and women’s access to finance. • Reduce and eliminate adverse impacts identified in the PSIA • Serbia programmatic public expenditure DPLs (2009 and 2011)support a new pension law (triggers for the second DPL), which raises the minimum pension, and protects women on survivor‘s pensions, building on PSIA results. • Support institutional and policy reforms • Pernambuco (Brazil) Expanding Opportunities, Enhancing Equity DPL (2012) includes prior action to create a permanent women’s secretariat and supports the secretariat’s technical skills for policy formulation

  20. Uganda: A small-grants program for small-scale mining targeted female salt miners, and allowed them to increase profits. Afghanistan: Horticulture and Livestock Program targets female producers: number of women’s producers’ groups receiving extension messages, more than doubled between 2010 and 2011, to 361, and 50% of women’s producers’ groups engaged in savings activity compared to 46% of men’s groups. What does mainstreaming look like in SDN? • Peru : Rural Transport Project (PROVIAS) instituted quotas for women's participation: that 10% of micro-enterprise workers in road rehabilitation and 20% of members of rural roads committees be women. By February 2012, 24% of the staff of microenterprises and members on rural roads committees were women.
