Subject: Re: [sustran] WB Urban Transport Strategy Review

Dear Colleagues

At a glance the new strategy review does a lousy job of incorporating gender
into urban transport. There appears to be no mention in Chapter 12 of
actions to
address the gender-biased nature of urban transport interventions.In fact
I've
found one paragraph in a 205 page report. The WB have a link to their web
site
on gender and transport from the urban transport strategy pages and are
commissioning research on how to mainstream gender into WB lending activity.
There is also siginificant technical help through such sites as:

http://www.art.man.ac.uk/transres/genintro.htm

and

http://www.geocities.com/transport_and_society/genderedjourneys/

So as a result incorporating gender into this strategy review should not be
too
difficult.

I wish the World Bank well in correcting this abberation
