Cover -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- contents -- abbreviations -- acknowledgments -- overview -- management comments -- 1. Gender Integration in World Bank Group Operations and Country Strategies -- Introduction -- Are projects and country strategies gender informed? -- Rationale and relevance for gender integration need to be more explicitly stated -- IFC's approach to gender integration is more focused, but has lower coverage -- Selecting gender as a cross-cutting theme dilutes the focus in country strategies -- Indicators used to track gender results are generally inadequate -- Gender indicators in country strategies focus on outputs -- IDA and IBRD projects do not identify gender relevance or articulate a results chain -- IFC projects have standard gender indicators, though the expected impact is unclear -- Conclusion -- 2.
