Balancing the scales: Using gender impact assessment in hydropower development
Oxfam Mekong Regional Water Governance program developed Gender Impact Assessment (GIA) manual Balancing the scales: Using gender impact assessment in hydropower development.
The GIA manual is designed for use by hydropower and consulting companies involved in social and environmental impact assessments on dams.
It is a resource that provides basic tools to incorporate gender impact assessment more comprehensively into dam project cycles. It will help identify and manage risk to avoid the possibility of dam projects adding to discrimination and marginalization of women.
