Project Mainstreaming Gender Dimensions Into Water Resources Development and Management in the Mediterranean Region

- the fact that women are still lacking the access to land and water rights and in spite of the decentralisation process and transfer of the irrigation management to the farmers through the establishment of Water User Associations, women are still considered as indirect beneficiaries through their husband water rights.
- In addition, the situation becomes more critical during the drought periods due to gender inequality
in the water allocation.
- to establish a set of indicators of performance of the gender approach in the irrigation sector and to involve women’s role in the water management programmes in order to improve women’s conditions in general and the effective development and the efficient use of the resources.
