This paper discusses policy towards gender in the water sector. It identifies key directions in gender policy and, while recognizing the progress made by donors towards implementing this, identifies some of the obstacles and difficulties encountered. The paper is based on a review of selected donor agency documentation and on discussions with staff conducted by Katja Jobes in May 1995.
