A. INTRODUCTION

This project-centered tool recognizes that PPPs often fail to examine or address the issues relevant to all project stakeholders, usually women. The set of questions underpinning this tool is therefore designed to help project planners think through how to improve gender equality in PPP projects. It provides a set of questions to be asked in relation to five key areas surrounding the PPP project (see Figure 4). It is hoped that these questions will help ensure more gender-sensitive PPP projects, by uncovering information and issues that will translate into different project designs and more nuanced drafting of project agreements.
