Short Summary Inclusive rural development requires recognition that women play a significant role in the survival strategies of poor rural households. This toolkit seeks to help World Bank staff and partners recognise and address gender concerns during the design of rural development sector projects. It guides how to monitor progress on integrating gender and evaluate the impact of the project, including of integrating gender, on overall rural well-being. To help integrate gender into a monitoring and evaluation system the toolkit identifies key questions that need to be addressed at the four stages of the project cycle i.e., identification and preparation, design and appraisal, implementation, implementation completion and evaluation. At all of these stages, participation and consultation among stakeholders is vital to build consensus on the gender goals of the project, what gender outcomes to monitor and what impacts to evaluate. The annexes provide: an example of a 'typical' rural development project design summary with gender-sensitive performance indicators; key questions to ask when engendering the project design summary; suggested qualitative and quantitative data collection and analysis methods for rural development projects; and a rural score card to assess rural well-being through a gender lens. Accompanying the main toolkit are six thematic briefs on: agricultural knowledge and information systems; agro-enterprise development; forestry; livestock development; rural finance; sustainable agriculture and natural resource management.
