Transformative Impact of Mainstreaming Gender in Rural Transport: a Review of Seven Case Studies
This paper analyses the extent to which selected transport policy, plans and projects have adopted gender transformative approaches
Abstract
A growing body of knowledge shows that differences in women’s time/space activity patterns, ownership of assets, and voice in decision-making, relative to men’s, results in gender differentiated demands for, and benefits from rural transport services and infrastructure. Based on a review of the seven research projects implemented in the framework of the UK aid funded Research for Community Access Partnership (ReCAP), this paper analyses the extent to which selected transport policy, plans and projects have adopted gender transformative approaches.
This work is part of the Applied Research on Rural Roads and Transport Services through Community Access Programmes in Africa and Asia (AFCAP2 and AsCAP)
