Results in Gender

Launched in 2001in the context of Mexico's strategy for poverty reduction and social sustainability, the Mexico Gender Equity Project – "Generosidad" – is helping to build public capacity, support community-based approaches to gender, improve women's access to income-generation programs, and increase gender awareness. The project, which will run until December 2005, aims to address the consequences of gender roles on both sexes and to consider the linkages between the genders rather than focusing solely on women. It is financed through a $3.03 million Learning and Innovation Loan (LIL).

Gender components have also been integrated in many operations of the Bank, such as the Honduras Rural Land Management Project (.pdf), the Caracas Slum Upgrading Project (.pdf), the Rural Roads of Peru Project (.pdf), and many others.
