Integrating gender into the bank's work: a strategy for action

---

In the strategy described in this paper, the World Bank will work with governments and civil society in client countries, and with governments and civil society in client countries, and with other donors, to diagnose the gender-related barriers to and opportunities for poverty reduction and sustainable development; and will then identify and support appropriate actions to reduce these barriers and capitalize on the opportunities. The strategy was developed in recognition of the desirability of finding more effective ways to integrate gender-responsive actions into the World Bank’s development assistance. The Bank’s Gender and Development Board (a Bank-wide body composed of representatives from the main operational units in the Bank) took the lead in developing the strategy and was the primary sounding board for drafts of the paper, which were written by a team headed by Karen Mason, Director of Gender and Development, that included Cecilia Valdivieso, Susan R. Razzaz, C. Mark Blackden, Lucia Fort and Helene Carlsson. Production of the printed version was enabled by Sarah Nedolast, Susan Giebel Suoninen, Deborah Davis, and Beni Chibber-Rao
