This guidance note provides practical tools and strategies for training providers to design and deliver gender-responsive learning programs, especially within technical and business education contexts. It highlights how gender dynamics, norms, and barriers influence learning outcomes and participation—especially for women and marginalized groups.
This guide helps practitioners design, implement and evaluate training programmes in a way that enables equal access and provides equal benefits to women and men. It provides tips and approaches based on international good practice and lessons learned from programmes implemented by IFC, the World Bank and other organisations.
This report shares insights and tools to support more inclusive and effective entrepreneurship education and training, especially for people from underrepresented and marginalized groups. It includes a list of assessment criteria to evaluate whether a programme is gender-smart.
People need water, energy, and food to sustain their livelihoods, grow economies, and achieve sustainable development. The interactions between these resource sectors form the crux of water-energy-food (WEF) nexus assessments. This study analyses the WEF nexus of 54 African nations and identifies bottlenecks resulting from water, energy, or food insecurity.
This report calls for greater cross-sectoral collaboration to advance energy, water and food security in Africa, highlighting how synergies between the sectors of water, energy and food create a multiplier effect, ensuring a greater return of investment.
This policy brief responds to the pressing demand for harmonising the imperatives of a Just Energy Transition (JET) with the intricate dynamics of the Water-Energy-Food (WEF) Nexus in the context of South Africa’s broader sustainable development imperatives.
This report provides an overview of the water-energy-food nexus in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), identifying the main challenges and opportunities for achieving water, energy and food security in the region.
This report analyses linkages in the water-energy-food-ecosystem nexus – essentially resource management trade-offs and synergies — in transboundary river basin settings. It draws on 36 nexus case studies from transboundary river basins in Europe, Asia, Africa and the Americas, providing lessons for transboundary management and cooperation.
This toolkit presents a glossary and a list of useful resources on the water-energy-food nexus.
This report provides baseline data on women’s employment in renewable energy, as well as information on barriers to gender equality and recommendations to close gender gaps.
