Regional Water Demand Initiative for the Middle East and North Africa (WaDImena)2009-06-212009-06-212008http://hdl.handle.net/10625/38831French version available in IDRC Digital Library: Gestion de la demande en eau, un instrument de justice sociale : les femmes, comme les hommes, ont beaucoup à offrir en matière de gestion des ressources hydriquesArabic version available in IDRC Digital Library: Water demand management for social justice : women, like men, have much to offer in the management of water resources [Arabic version]Women and men have different interests in, and derive different benefits from, the availability, use and management of water. Research evidence is supporting the notion that involving women, along with men, in the design and management of water projects enhances the intended results of projects and contributes to the sustainability of water resources as well as to social justice. Policymakers could benefit much from an increased understanding of the economic, political and social impediments that limit women’s effective and secure access to water resources as well as the benefits that may accrue by improving women’s participation in water management initiatives.Text1 digital file (2 p.)enWATER SCARCITYGENDER ANALYSISGENDER ROLESWOMEN'S PARTICIPATIONWATER INSTITUTIONSWATER MANAGEMENTWATER EQUITYWATER USE EFFICIENCYMIDDLE EASTNORTH AFRICAPolicy Brief
