Abstract

This bulletin advocates for institutional uptake and increased capacity in effective gender representation, as an innovation approach, and as part of systems of innovation in water laws, policies and projects. It presents means of inclusion within the environmental projects cycle of design and implementation, where gender perspectives can be taken seriously. Women's work and innovative capabilities are too often invisible and unrecognized, and their innovative practices are not given necessary attention by planners.
