This report presents a strategic framework for incorporating gender perspectives into resilient infrastructure development, focusing on the transportation, water, and energy sectors. The aim is to enhance disaster resilience while promoting gender equality, aligning with the commitments of the Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery (GFDRR) and the World Bank Group’s initiatives in inclusive disaster risk management (DRM) and gender equality.

Regarding recommendations, the report emphasizes the need to develop transportation and water infrastructure that prioritizes women’s safety and accessibility, advocates for women’s participation in policy-making processes, and provides targeted employment and training programs in the transportation, water, and energy sectors. Additionally, promoting community-led initiatives with women in leadership roles is crucial for improving disaster preparedness and response. Incorporating gender considerations into resilient infrastructure development is essential for reducing vulnerability and enhancing recovery in disaster-prone areas. By focusing on inclusive and equitable strategies, the World Bank and GFDRR aim to build infrastructure that meets the needs of all community members, particularly women, thus fostering sustainable and resilient development.
