Project planners can consider gender issues from the outset of the PPP project cycle process-during project identification and initial PPP screening. The objective of the initial screening of one or several candidate PPP projects is to identify-based on preliminary information-whether it is likely the project can be successfully implemented and provide better value as a PPP, and which of several eligible projects to develop first.
For a more gender-responsive approach, the following activities should be considered:
a. Plan stakeholder communication and engagement in a gender-sensitive way;
b. Identify different impacts of the project on women and men, and opportunities for both genders;
c. Filter projects that have a high potential to reduce gender gaps; and
d. Prioritize projects that promote gender equality and women's empowerment.
