Abstract

Women’s involvement, influence, and innovative know-how in relation to water management were under investigation in this project, at the level of conservation, environmental institutions, and community. The research aimed to strengthen influence and involvement of Palestinian women as innovators, decision makers, and executives within the water sector, and to clarify the current status of gender and innovation within Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM). This meant also providing decision makers and professionals with capacity building training programs on concepts of gender-innovation.
