Module 5: Tools for Mainstreaming Gender in Transport
5.9. Project Level Points of Intervention
At each stage in the project cycle there are many opportunities for
addressing gender issues. Project implementors need to be aware of specific
actions they can take, such as the commissioning of gender disaggregated
data sets, which will help to mainstream gender in the program and provide
a base of adequate information to support decision making. Attention
to these opportunities will help lead to mainstreaming of gender in
the sector.
