Traveling Exhibit
-
As "one picture tells more than a thousand words", GWA developed a photo exhibition showing different aspects of gender related to water. The main objectives of this exhibit are: to raise awareness about gender and water issues to strenghten capacity in community-based groups and organisations and to address gender equity in integrated water resource management.
Together with GWA members and partners from the respective regions, the exhibit was developed for the Latin American and Carribean region in 2005, an African Chapter was developed in 2007, followed by a South Asian chapter in 2008.

Tutorial for Water Managers: Why Gender Matters (2014)
-
Together with CapNet GWA has developed a self learning tool for water professionals and others interested in or responsible for managing water resources. This was published first in 2006, and has now been revised and updated.
The tutorial wants to show how addressing gender will improve efficiency of water use and environmental sustainability. Therefore this tutorial first deals with the general concepts of gender and gender mainstreaming and then specifies to look at the following water sectors: drinking water, sanitation, agriculture and environment (including climate change). But apart from the "why" the tutorial also deals with the "how" of gender mainstreaming. To this end a quick-guide has been included at the beginning of the Tutorial, and in every chapter references and links to manuals, tools, resource centres and case studies are included.

-
With support of GWA, the African Initiative for Environment Sustainable Network (IFESNET-AFRICA) organized a regional ToT workshop in Asaba, Delta State, Nigeria, from 14-20 September 2008. The main aims of the workshop were to build capacity and increase knowledge and understanding of gender in IWRM with the NGOs and State Governments in Southern Nigeria. IFESNET-AFRICA reports that this region is relatively neglected in development activities whereas the problems, especially as a result of water pollution, are immense. Apart from the detailed programme schedule, the report describes the session contents, the regional specific case studies, group exercises, the field visit and reviews the reactions of the participants in the ensuing discussions. The illustrated report can be downloaded here.
