"Capturing the Big Picture of Gender in Water; Power relations in Policy and Practice : How to utilise existing knowledge?”

The keypoints derived from the gender seminar were:

1. Indicators for accountability for mainstreaming gender are needed: performance indicators, report cards and gender sensitive budgeting
2. We need to "think out of the box" We need to link gender and water concerns to other sectors and also look at diversity issues like class, caste and age
3. It is necessary to make partnerships effective: Capacity building should be seen as a continous process, strategic alliances should be sought, we will need to involve allies, interlink networks, and look for mutual benefits.
