Step 2 | Gender Action Plan
|
The findings of the gender assessment should inform a Gender Action Plan (GAP). The GAP sets out a program to implement the recommendations of the gender assessment by defining specific activities, milestones, and performance indicatiors through a monitoring and evaluation framework.
In many cases the GAP has elements of both institutional cpacity building and actions targeted at project-affected people and beneficiaries. It is important that the GAP should not be seen as a stand-alone document but integrated into the energy project appraisal and implementation plan.
