Gender Mainstreaming in Rural Transport Policy and Practice – Policy Brief
The research involved analysis of transport sector policies, legislation, regulations and programmes
Abstract
This ReCAP funded project was implemented by the International Forum for Rural Transport and Development (IFRTD) in 4 AfCAP countries (Ghana, Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania) as a piece of networked research. Transport policy, regulations, planning, and infrastructure design do not systematically reflect women’s transport realities and needs, relative to men’s. The research involved analysis of transport sector policies, legislation, regulations and programmes to generate key learning around good and promising gender mainstreaming practices for possible up-scaling. Policy recommendations are provided in this brief.
This project is funded by DFID under the Applied Research on Rural Roads and Transport Services through Community Access Programmes in Africa and Asia (AFCAP2 and AsCAP)
