This book has been produced to help engineers, technicians and
project managers ensure that the facilities they design and build
are beneficial to all members of society. Using many examples,
especially related to water and sanitation, the book demonstrates
that 'one size does not fit all'. It shows how women, men and
children frequently have different needs and different priorities
because they use infrastructure in different ways. It explains how
the community that will use the infrastructure is generally
structured by inequalities of various kinds and without analysis of
social issues an intention that the facility should serve the needs
of all is not likely to be realized. The book seeks to make gender
analysis intelligible to engineers working at the project level; to
enable them to co-operate with social scientists, and to increase
their awareness of the need to work with women and men in the user
community. The book emphasizes the practical ways in which taking
account of gender relations will improve the design, implementation
and use of infrastructure. With this in mind, it is focused on what
civil engineers actually need to know to improve their projects, to
give the 'civil' aspects of their work equal weight with the
'engineering' aspects. This book will be of great interest to all
engineers, technicians and project managers concerned with
infrastructure development in low- and middle-income countries.
