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.'
