a. Are there legal constraints that could impede women, e.g., does one need to have land tenancy, a registered address or an identity card before accessing services, seeking employment, starting a business, receiving compensation (e.g., for resettlement), or engaging in other activities associated with the project?
b. Are there local social, cultural and religious practices that could impede service provision to women, or women accessing economic opportunities from the project?
c. Are there power structures in local communities affecting women, or certain groups among women, that will influence the location, design or operation of the project?
d. Are there factors within the communities, such as high sexual-harassment and violence rates, that are specific to women?
e. Do women have access to or control over household finances? Can women open bank accounts? Can they access credit as easily as men?
f. Do women receive subsidies or other aid that might help to access benefits from the project?
g. To what extent can women receive and pay bills (e.g., are there requirements for things such as land tenancy, a registered address, or an identification card)?
h. Where are women located, compared to the existing service network? Are there technical/cost complexities of serving areas where women live? Are women located in areas vulnerable to disasters? How does the location/alignment of the project affect potential benefits to, and participation by, women, e.g., commuting patterns, location of employment, education, and social focal points?
i. Are women more vulnerable to risks arising from the project-for example, an influx of workers during construction can increase risks of disease, inflation, traffic, accidents, and even gender-based violence.
