  3. Strategic Directions for the WBG Discussed by the Executive Board on August 23, 2011 Endorsed by Development Committee on September 24, 2011 So what is the World Bank doing differently ?

  5. Financing Progress in Strategic Directions Number of operations in brackets Integration of gender analysis, actions and monitoring into operations, by region, FY11

  6. Financing patterns 53% 75% 53% 51% *Total number of projects in parentheses

  7. Better and more timely tracking Improved method integrated into AIS: • Simplified and clarified, and consistent with CAS method • Allow pipeline to be tracked. Being gender informed requires money and skills: • OPCS analysis reveals that gender informed projects take no longer, but cost $50,000 more, to prepare. • 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, this will create a gender flag.

  8. Resources available • Network anchor and regional teams • Knowledge • Guidance -- on CAS, DPLs, and what is gender informed lending • Toolkits • Evidence about what works • Data – the new portal • Learning and hands-on support • CAS Academy, DPL Academy, Boot Camp… • Clinics -- CAS, operational…

  9. Some key questions 1. Are we doing enough at the country level ? • Raising awareness : beyond WDR dissemination and the campaign • Diagnostics : look for links -- especially in poverty and inequality work – eg West Bank Gaza • Opportunities with partners - egAfDB gender assessments, IADB on violence. 2. Can we identify more financing opportunities ? 3. Do staff have easy access to relevant guidance and knowledge ? • Guidance on CAS, DPLs, and what is gender informed lending • How useful is the GE website? 4. Do we have the right people and skills ? • Inherently multi-sectoral – everybody’s business! • Regional gender focal points - normally PREM (except SAR) – and country gender focal points, mainly in country - 54 identified and now linked. • Gender now integrated and delivered as part of core training, eg CAS Academy, DPL Academy, Boot Camp – but much to do ! • Very few gender mapped staff -- total on active duty = 10, • of 170 poverty specialists; • 200+ mapped to economic policy.
