Abstract:

This Action Piece is an evidence-based call to action to all actors to build more equitable, inclusive, and sustainable societies. Countless gender and inclusion strategies within the water management sector have been developed across the world by non-governmental organisations, governments, regional bodies, partnership organisations, multilateral development banks, and bilateral aid agencies. And yet, evidence has revealed a clear gap between these policies and practice: gender strategies are seldom funded adequately, gender mainstreaming is not well understood, and on the whole monitoring and evaluation processes are not sophisticated enough to reveal the true gender and inclusion power dynamics occurring within a water resources management context. Furthermore, there is a need to better understand and account for a broader range of factors that can lead to exclusion and marginalisation, such as age, disability, ethnicity, caste, and sexuality, if we are to ensure that no one is left behind.
