Does Increased Water Access Empower Women?

Author

  • Saskia Ivens

Abstract

Saskia Ivens examines the extent to which women have benefited from increased water access. She argues that while gender equality is crucial for the sustainability of water programmes, its advancement through water programmes has been limited. She calls for more impact studies and suggests the use of empowering participatory approaches. Development (2008) 51, 63–67. doi:10.1057/palgrave.development.1100458
