A major challenge for clients is understanding what
constitutes gender, participation and mechanisms of implementation
in order to ensure effective project performance
that leads to people’s improved standards of living. For
many people, men as well as women who work in the water
sector, gender as still synonymous with only women’s
participation. Little attention is therefore accorded to the
respective work, responsibilities, benefits and controls
divided between women and men in different socio-economic
and cultural categories.
