The Resource Guide on Gender and IWRM is meant as a reference document to assist water and gender practitioners and professionals as well as persons responsible for gender mainstreaming, and anybody else who is interested in the water sector. It is a reference guide for use in conjunction with the texts and materials to which it refers. The resource guide is downloadable by chapter, so you can focus on the chapters of interest to you or as a total document.
The initial UNDP Resource Guide for Mainstreaming Gender in Water Management was launched during the 3rd World Water Forum in Kyoto in 2003. The feedback received since then has shaped this second, totally revised version introduced in March 2006 during the 4th World Water Forum in Mexico. This once again edited edition of November 2006 is available in five languages: English, French, Spanish, Portuguese and Arabic.

Se trata de una guía referencial que debe ser usada en conjunción con los textos y materiales a los que hace referencia. La Guía se puede bajar por capítulo, para poder enfocar en los capítulos de su interés, o se puede bajar la guía completa.
