| dc.description.abstract | Women and girls use water for domestic activities and home-caring for vulnerable family members, as well as taking care of small cattle and agricultural production. Given their active use of water, women tend to be truly knowledgeable about current water sources, their quality and reliability, and any restrictions on their use. On the other hand, men use water for productive activities. Although women supply almost half of all agricultural labor in low-and middle-income countries, their agricultural productivity is on average 20 percent to 30 percent lower than male farmers. Therefore, agricultural activities supervised by men often take priority over those conducted by women. There is a need to integrate women in the planning, decision making and governance of water and sanitation services. They should be considered not only as beneficiaries and users, but also as active players in decision-making bodies, such as water committees, and water and sanitation operators, as well as workers in infrastructure projects. This report compiles a sample of the projects and Technical Cooperations that have been funded by AquaFund, organized according to the thematic areas of action of the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB)'s Water and Sanitation Division (WAS). The percentage of strategic alignment with gender of operations in the 2018-2021 period inside the IDB's WAS Division is reviewed to continue deepening gender actions and strategies in operations promoted by AquaFund. |
