In recent years, large amounts of 'development assistance' in the form of infrastructure and social programs have been made available to communities across Peru as a result of the presence of extractive industry (EI) companies. These funds have come through corporate-managed social programs; royalties; the tax on EI profits, which is redistributed through the various canons; trust funds; and the voluntary contribution, which was recently introduced. With increasing extractive industry presence, and a decreasing supply of international cooperation aid to Peru, 2 as of 2006, funds from the mining canon alone outstripped international cooperation aid to Peru. While recent commodities fluctuations have reduced company profits, and therefore taxes, canon, and voluntary contributions by companies, these payments are still very significant and are greater than international cooperation aid. Although it is hard in the current international economic climate to make clear projections, funding resources originating from mining in Peru will continue to be key to the development of the poorer communities surrounding the mining operations. One important way in which EI companies and local governments responsible for administering the oil, gas, and mining canons could significantly improve their development outcomes would be to make sure that their development assistance approaches have a stronger influence on women-particularly women from poorer families, who are the least likely to be able to take advantage of the employment opportunities and other benefits offered by the company's presence.CC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO CREDITACCESS TO RESOURCESAGRICULTURAL ACTIVITIESAGRICULTUREALCOHOL ABUSEALCOHOL CONSUMPTIONBALANCE SHEETBANK MANAGEMENTBREADWINNERBUSINESS ACTIVITIESCHILD CARECITIZENCIVIL SOCIETY ACTORSCOMMUNITY DEVELOPMENTCORRUPTIONCULTURAL BARRIERSCULTURAL NORMCULTURAL VALUESDECENTRALIZATIONDEPOSITSDEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCEDEVELOPMENT COMPANIESDEVELOPMENT PLANNINGDEVELOPMENT PLANSDISABLEDDISADVANTAGED WOMENDISCRIMINATIONDISCRIMINATION AGAINST WOMENDISEASESDISSEMINATIONDOMESTIC VIOLENCEEARTHQUAKEECONOMIC ACTIVITIESECONOMIC BENEFITSECONOMIC CLIMATEECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIESECONOMICSEDUCATION OF WOMENEDUCATIONAL LEVELELDERLYEMPLOYEEEMPLOYMENT OF WOMENEMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIESEMPOWERMENTEMPOWERMENT OF WOMENENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATIONENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTSEQUAL ACCESSEQUAL OPPORTUNITYEQUAL RIGHTSEQUALITYEQUALITY OF OPPORTUNITIESETHNIC GROUPSEXCHANGE RATESEXCLUSIONEXCLUSION OF WOMENEXPENDITURESEXTREME POVERTYFAMILIESFAMILY FARMFAMILY INCOMEFAMILY MEMBERSFAMILY VIOLENCEFEMALEFEMINISMFEMINISTFEMINISTSFIGHT AGAINST POVERTYFINANCIAL INSTITUTIONFINANCIAL SERVICESFORMS OF DISCRIMINATIONFUNDING SOURCEFUNDING SOURCESFUTURE GENERATIONSGENDERGENDER EQUALITYGENDER EQUITYGENDER ISSUESGOVERNMENT AGENCIESGOVERNMENT DEPARTMENTSGOVERNMENT OFFICESGROUP OF WOMENHEALTH RISKSHOMEHOUSEHOLD POVERTYHOUSINGHUSBANDHUSBANDSINDIGENOUS WOMENINEQUALITYINFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENTINTEGRATIONINTEGRATION OF WOMENINTERNATIONAL BANKINTERNATIONAL COOPERATIONINTERNATIONAL FINANCEJOB OPPORTUNITIESLACK OF KNOWLEDGELEGAL STATUSLEVEL OF DEVELOPMENTLIMITED ACCESSLOCAL AUTHORITIESLOCAL CAPACITYLOCAL COMMUNITIESLOCAL COMMUNITYLOCAL GOVERNMENTSLOCAL POPULATIONLOW-INCOME COUNTRIESMANDATESMARGINALIZATIONMARITAL STATUSMARRIED WOMENMATERNAL HEALTHMATERNAL MORTALITYMIGRANTMIGRANT WORKERSMILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALMINORITYNATIONAL GOVERNMENTNATIONAL POLICIESNATURAL RESOURCENATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENTNGOSNONGOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONSNUMBER OF WORKERSNUTRITIONOFFICIAL DEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCEOPPORTUNITIES FOR WOMENPERSONAL SAFETYPOLICY FRAMEWORKPOVERTY ALLEVIATIONPRESS CONFERENCEPRIMARY EDUCATIONPRIVATE INVESTMENTPROFIT MARGINSPROMOTION OF WOMENPROSTITUTESPROSTITUTIONPUBLIC INVESTMENTPUBLIC SPHEREQUALITY OF LIFERADIORECEIPTSRESPECTROLE OF WOMENRURAL AREASRURAL COMMUNITIESSANITATIONSAVINGSSELF-ESTEEMSERVICE PROVIDERSSINGLE MOTHERSSKILL LEVELSOCIAL CONFLICTSSOCIAL CONSEQUENCESSOCIAL DEVELOPMENTSOCIAL DIMENSIONSSOCIAL FUNDSSOCIAL IMPACTSOCIAL PROGRAMSSOCIAL RESPONSIBILITYSOCIAL SERVICESSOCIAL STATUSSOCIOECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTSOURCE OF INCOMESPONSORSSTATUS OF WOMENSUPPLY CHAINSUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTSUSTAINABLE GROWTHTIMELY USETRANSPORTATIONUNEQUAL ACCESSUNITED NATIONS DEVELOPMENT FUND FOR WOMENUNIVERSITIESURBAN AREASUSE OF RESOURCESVILLAGEVULNERABLE GROUPSVULNERABLE WOMENWATER RESOURCESWATER SUPPLIESWIDOWSWILLWIVESWOMANWOMEN'S ISSUESWORKFORCEWORKING POPULATIONWorld Bank10.1596/978-0-8213-8208-0
