Mainstreaming Gender Water and Sanitation, Strategy and Action Plan

This strategy document emphasizes the benefits of entrusting the responsibility to groups of women and men of taking control of solving their water and sanitation problems at the local level, particularly slums which are highly deficient in water and sanitation services.

It highlights the need for capacity building at different levels, from head offices to the grassroots level, to apply gender sensitive budgeting, impact analysis and monitoring and evaluation.
