Australian Development Gateway

The Australian Development Gateway (ADG) strives to support members of the development community in their efforts to reduce poverty and enhance sustainable development in the Asia Pacific region. The site has been created with participation from members of government, private, academia and non-government organisations. User feedback mechanisms have been incorporated to guide future directions of the site. The site is optimised for low bandwidth access to enable the widest participation throughout the Asia Pacific region.

This fact sheet looks at issues of gender inequality and poverty which exclude large numbers of people from enjoying the benefits of water supply and sanitation facilities and processes aimed at their improvement.

Fortunately, much is now known about the rationale, methods and impacts, of applying gender and poverty perspectives in the water and sanitation sector.
