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.
