E.  HOW TO READ THE PRIMER

The primer is broken into sections to ensure easy navigability and allow readers to jump between sections as needed; however, given that the primer caters in part to readers interested in developing infrastructure PPPs with little knowledge of gender equality, it is recommended to start from Section 1 and work through to Section 4, time permitting.

Readers should be aware that considering gender equality aims and infrastructure PPPs is a relatively new field. Although much research was conducted to develop the primer, there is limited evidence from PPP projects themselves from which to pull best practices. As such, we use best-practice approaches identified from infrastructure projects more generally, and then highlight points along the PPP project cycle and in institutional frameworks where gender equality aims could be addressed. Hopefully, as gender equality goals continue to gain prominence in development and political agendas, more examples of gender equality and infrastructure PPPs will surface, and the primer can be updated accordingly.
