2. Presentation outline Gender and the CAS – trends and observations Integrating gender issues into the main components of the CAS 1.Vision 2.Diagnosis 3.Program 4.Results

3. Trends: Attention to Gender in CASs 35% 19% 46% 18% 61% 9% 15% 76% 21% 6% 73% 21% 0% 25% 50% 75% 100% No mentionAnalysis but no actions proposed Proposed actions in one or more sectors FY98-99 (n=37) FY00-01 (n=28) FY02-03 (n=34) FY04-05 (n=52) Change in the Degree of Gender Integration in CASs FY98 to FY05 (%)

4. Trends: Attention to Gender in CASs 0 0.4 0.8 1.2 1.6 2 FY98-99FY00-01FY02-03FY04-05 * In order to estimate this average, CASs with no mention of gender issues received a rating of 0; CASs with analysis but no actions proposed received a rating of 1; CASs with proposed gender actions in one or more sectors received a rating of 2.

5. Observations: Gender Issues in the CAS Gender inequalities addressed more frequently in the HD sectors of education and health Gender issues often come across as an afterthought – not raised consistently CAS outcomes and indicators often miss opportunities to address gender issues

6. CAS Component 1: Vision Ensuring that an understanding of gender issues informs the vision for the CAS Understanding countries’ own approach to gender issues –The CAS for Kyrgyz Republic (FY03) identified gender issues that were discussed in the Kyrgyz PRSP and proposed gender responsive actions in areas identified in the PRSP, including governance and microfinance Linking gender issues to the MDGs Designing the consultative process in a way that incorporates gender issues –The consultative process for the CAS for Egypt (06) included consultations with women’s groups –The CAS for Burkina Faso (FY06) utilized PRSP objectives, its gender assessment, and consultations to develop gender-sensitive priorities in the advancement of women’s rights and empowerment

7. CAS Component 2: Diagnosis Raising gender issues consistently in the CAS diagnosis Conducting a Country Gender Assessment and/or other gender-informed ESW –The Cambodia CAS (FY05) included a summary of CAS responses to Gender Assessment Findings Addressing gender across sectors –Actions in the Philippines CAS (FY02) were proposed in three of four areas recognized as priorities in a gender assessment of the country. These were: violence against women and children, gender in governance, and reproductive health Recognizing male and female gender issues –The CAS for Djibouti (FY05) addressed the qat issue, in which adult males take time off from work and family to chew qat and planned to build national consensus on the social and economic impacts of qat use

8. CAS Component 3: Program Identifying actions in response to gender issues Identifying gender-responsive actions –The CAS for Benin (FY04) proposed increasing girls' primary school enrollment with a PRSC, increasing women's access to credit through a national CDD project, and conducting analytical work to make public policies and expenditures gender- responsive –The Burkina Faso CAS (FY06) provided gender responses in education, health, agriculture, and private sector development in the Results Matrix. It also proposed increasing employment opportunities and literacy programs for women in rural areas as well as suggested gender-relevant analytic work in gender- based budgeting and women’s access to land Learning from the CAS completion report

9. CAS Component 3: Program cont. Recognizing our partners’ work on gender issues –The CAS for Tunisia (FY05) recognized work by UNIFEM on the gender implications of economic reforms Tying future lending commitments to progress on gender equality –In the CAS for Benin (FY04) improvements in enrollment and passing of a gender-responsive family law together serve as a trigger to move from base case to high case lending

10. CAS Component 4: Results Using gender-sensitive indicators as a tool to better measure outcomes Addressing gender equality in the results matrix –Long-term strategic development goals –Shorter-term CAS outcomes –Bank priorities

11. Results Matrix Long-term Country Strategic Development Goals Shorter-term CAS outcomes to be achieved in the period of the CAS Bank priorities and performance (National plans, MDGs) Major challenges that hinder ability to achieve goals CAS outcome(s) and indicators that the Bank expects to influence through its interventions Intermediate indicators to achieve expected CAS outcome(s) Bank and partner interventions in the sector Increase access to safe water sources Increase the % of rural house- holds and the % of urban- slum households with running water by X% Reduce the distance to the nearest source of safe water by X% New location of water sources might be inaccessible to women if they are not allowed to walk long distances alone Women may continue using unsafe water sources that are easy to use over safe water sources that are difficult to use and require a greater physical effort Time women spend collecting water reduced by X% Establish and involve women in a volunteer maintenance system for water pumps among members of the community Distance to nearest water source in rural households reduced by X% Percent of rural households with access to drinking water increased by X% Ongoing Lending: Community Water and Sanitation Project Proposed AAA, TA, and TFs: Rural Development Strategy Partners : SIDA, UNDP

12. CAS Component 4: Results cont. Using gender-sensitive indicators The CASs for Burkina Faso (FY06) presented a range of sex disaggregated statistical indicators, such as: Use of condom during last risky sexual intercourse increase from 69% in 2003 to 80% (men) and from 52% to 65% (women) by 2009 Use of condom during last risky sexual intercourse increase from 69% in 2003 to 80% (men) and from 52% to 65% (women) by 2009 Agricultural revenues for women in targeted sub-sectors increased by 10% Land tenure: 50% of male applicants and 50% of women applicants obtained land titles or equivalent in six pilot provinces
