Phase ii: Rehab l tat on and preparedness • Provide training to women in effective water and sanitation planning and management, especially where there is a prevalence of women-headed households (using women-to-women training). wAter, sAnItAtIon AnD hygIene – genDer checklIst Analysis of gender differences G e n d e R A n d w AT e R , S A n I T AT I o n A n d H y G I e n e I n e m e R G e n C I e S • Offer training to men in water management, especially for single male-headed households who have previously relied on women to collect water and to manage the cooking, personal hygiene and domestic needs for the household (using men-to-men training). • Work with community groups to expand, operate and maintain communal facilities and dispose of liquid and solid waste. Meet ng cultural d fferences • Guarantee confidentiality and integrate cultural sensitivity into discussion forums on hygiene and sanitation with women and girls. • Use other women as facilitators in these discussions. • Include questions on cultural and ethnic beliefs on water usage, responsibilities and sanitation practices. • Reflect cultural and ethnic differences in the affected community in water, sanitation and hygiene programmes where appropriate (e.g. different anal cleansing practices). • Create a participatory, non-discriminatory (age, sex, ability) design for enabling unrestricted access to water and sanitation. CHECklIST For ASSESSInG GEndEr EquAlITy ProGrAmmInG In THE WATEr, SAnITATIon And HyGIEnE SECTor The checklist below is derived from the action section in this chapter, and provides a useful tool to remind sector actors of key issues to ensure gender equality programming. In addition, the checklist, together with the sample indicators in the Basics Chapter, serves as a basis for project staff to develop context-specific indicators to measure progress in the incorporation of gender issues into humanitarian action. 1. information is gathered from women, girls, boys and men about: • cultural beliefs and practices in water and sanitation use • hygiene habits • needs and roles in operation, maintenance and distribution • methods and time spent in water collection 2. data disaggregated by sex and age are used to develop a profile of at-risk populations with special water requirements. design 1. Water sites, distribution mechanisms and maintenance procedures are accessible to women, including those with limited mobility. 2. Communal latrine and bathing cubicles for women, girls, boys and men are sited in safe locations, are culturally appropriate, provide privacy, are adequately illuminated and are accessible by those with disabilities.
Access I A s c g e n D e r h A n D b o o k 1. Women’s, girls’, boys’ and men’s access to services and facilities is routinely monitored through spot checks, discussions with communities, etc. 2. obstacles to equal access are promptly addressed. Participation 1. Women and men are equally and meaningfully involved in decision-making and programme design, implementation and monitoring. 2. Women and men are involved in the safe disposal of solid waste. Training/Capacity building 1. Women and men are trained in the use and maintenance of facilities. 2. Women and men are sensitized/trained to protect surface and groundwater. Actions to address GbV 1. Both women and men participate in the identification of safe and accessible sites for water pumps and sanitation facilities. 2. facilities and collection points are monitored to ensure they are safe and accessible (locks, lighting). Targeted actions based on gender analysis 1. unequal knowledge levels on hygiene and water management are addressed through trainings. 2. Women’s and men’s access to and control over resources for collecting/carrying water, containers and storage facilities are monitored and inequalities are addressed. 3. discriminatory practices hindering women’s participation in water management groups are addressed through empowerment programmes. monitoring and evaluation based on sex-and age-disaggregated data 1. sex- and age-disaggregated data on programme coverage are collected, analysed and routinely reported on. 2. plans are developed and implemented to address any inequalities and ensure access and safety for all of the target population. Coordinate actions with all partners 1. actors in your sector liaise with actors in other sectors to coordinate on gender issues. 2. the sector/cluster has a gender action plan, has developed and routinely measures project-specific indicators based on the checklist provided in the iasC Gender handbook.
