abstract: 'Nepal is progressive in mainstreaming gender equality and social
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
inclusion in the rural transport sector. Research studies were conducted
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
using qualitative methods to assess the extent to which people living
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
within the zone of influence of road and bridge projects have benefitted
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
in two rural districts, namely, Ramechhap and Okhaldhunga. The projects
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
in these districts were successful in meeting the quantitative targets.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The project''s targeting approach to provide employment to women and
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
disadvantaged groups in construction projects had very positive impacts
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
on their livelihoods. With increased incomes, people could send their
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
children to schools, add wealth and start small businesses. However,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
heavy domestic duties constrain women''s potential to participate fully
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
in road/bridge construction. (For full participation, a worker is
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
expected to work in road/bridge construction for 90 days in a year; the
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
wages earned would fulfil their food sufficiency for a year for an
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
economically poor family.) Project quotas for women in user committees
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
have increased their representation, but they are hardly influencing
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
decisions. Participation in training is at times constrained by factors
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
such as women''s domestic duties and distance to training venues. These
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
wider issues need more attention in accommodating the specific needs,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
constraints and vulnerabilities of women to bring genuine
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
transformations in the lives of women.'
