Gender Mainstreaming Action Plan (GAP)

 

The GAP aims at facilitating greater attention to gender as a crosscutting issue in all areas of Bank activity, giving priority to the following action areas:

  • Incorporating gender analysis and actions throughout the IDB project cycle;
  • Improving the availability and quality of technical support and analysis for gender mainstreaming;
  • Mainstreaming gender flagship themes and integrating gender into new areas of Bank innovation; and
  • Strengthening the institutional mechanisms for creating accountability, achieving and monitoring results.

    • The Gender Mainstreaming Action Plan started implementation in 2003 through a highly collaborative process, with shared responsibility across regional operations and central departments. GED plays the role of facilitator, technical advisor and monitor of GAP implementation.

    The GAP 2003-2005 is still in operation. Progress in GAP implementation was evaluated in 2005.
