This section provides brief and practical guidance on how to systematically integrate gender considerations into PPP frameworks and projects in a way that links analysis, action, monitoring and evaluation into a strong results chain. It achieves this by providing an overview of entry points across the PPP project cycle where tools or legal instruments can be applied by project teams to identify and analyze gender gaps; develop and implement corresponding actions and indicators; and monitor and evaluate results to ensure better project outcomes for men and women. Actively analyzing gender implications of PPP projects, taking actions to improve outcomes, and determining whether these actions had the desired effect will help infrastructure PPP projects make headway towards promoting gender equality and women's empowerment.43
Although this section provides examples of solutions successfully used to address certain gender issues within PPP or infrastructure projects more generally,44 it does not discuss design options in detail. The publications referenced at the end of this section provide more detailed information.
