ABOUT THIS PASSPORT
2
2.1 Purpose
This booklet is developed for field staff involved in the
design, implementation, operation and maintenance of water
management projects for agricultural production; technicians
and agents in local irrigation and extension services, NGOs and
local government employees who work at field level, carry out
the assessment of the local situation and have contact and
negotiate with stakeholders using available water sources. For
this reason the guide was given a pocket format, so professionals,
practitioners and other field staff can easily carry it with them to
the field.
The purpose of the passport is to support them
in mainstreaming a gender perspective during planning,
implementation and management of agricultural water
management projects and programmes. This implies assessing the
implications of any intervention on women and men, girls and
boys, through a participatory approach, while designing gender-
sensitive interventions. The expected outcome is improved
performance of water management projects and systems, while
strengthening the position of rural women or other disadvantaged
groups |
