Gender Scan Methodology for water utilities (2011)
-
The Gender and Water Alliance (GWA) has designed this Gender Scan Methodology to assist water and sanitation utilities in identifying how effectively they are mainstreaming gender in their policies, practices, and procedures, and to assist them in identifying areas where they can further strengthen gender mainstreaming.
The gender scan methodology can be used to assess gender mainstreaming opportunities throughout the utility’s operations and management, or can be limited to a specific component or activity the utility would like to focus on.

An analysis of sanitation policies in Southern Africa: The case of Gender Policies in Sanitation in South Africa, Zambia & Zimbabwe
-
South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe rank 88, 129 and 107 respectively in the global gender related development index.

Therefore, more work has to be done to ensure that gender imbalances among men and women, rich and poor are addressed adequately. Case study by Mulenga Martin, Manase Gift and Fawcett Ben of WEDC
