Infrastructure for All
Meeting the needs of both men and women in development projects – A practical guide for engineers, technicians and project managers
This book has been produced to help engineers, technicians and project managers ensure that the facilities they design and build are beneficial to all members of society. Using many examples, especially examples related to water and sanitation, the book demonstrates that ‘one size does not fit all’. It shows how women, men and children frequently have different needs and different priorities because they use infrastructure in different ways. The book makes gender analysis intelligible to engineers working at the project level to enable them to co-operate with social scientists, and to increase their awareness of the need to work with women and men in the user community.
