In trade related interventions, taking gender equality into account not only spurs country competitiveness, but also helps obtain better outcomes. The World Bank's international trade department and the gender and development unit in the Poverty Reduction and Economic Management network are collaborating to produce guidance notes in order to help people working in the field identify and assess the gender dimensions of trade projects. This guidance note focuses on trade facilitation and logistics initiatives, which seek to improve customs and border management, trade infrastructure, port efficiency, transport security, logistics and transport services, regional trade corridors and transit and multimodal transport. The guidance note demonstrates why gender matters for trade facilitation and logistics and how gender dimensions can be integrated into trade facilitation and logistics initiatives. The ultimate objective of the note is to support World Bank staff to enhance the effectiveness of the World Banks's trade-related work by integrating a gender perspective into trade-related policy dialogue, and the design, implementation and monitoring and evaluation of trade facilitation and logistics initiatives.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO EMPLOYMENTACCESS TO INFORMATIONACCESS TO JOBSACCESS TO RESOURCESACCESSIBILITYADVOCACYADVOCACY EFFORTSAIRPORTAIRPORT DEVELOPMENTBICYCLESBORDER CROSSINGBORDER CROSSINGSBORDER MANAGEMENTBOTTLENECKSBRIDGEBUSBUSESBUSINESS WOMENCAPACITY OF WOMENCARCHILD CARECOMMODITIESCOMMUNITIESCOMMUNITY DEVELOPMENTCOMPENSATIONCONSIGNMENTCORRUPTIONCUSTOMSCUSTOMS BROKERSCUSTOMS CLEARANCECUSTOMS PROCEDURESDESCRIPTIONDISCRIMINATIONDRIVERSECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTECONOMIC EMPOWERMENTFAMILIESFAMILY WELFAREFEMALEFEMALE TRADERSFEMALESFORMS OF VIOLENCEFORMS OF VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMENFREIGHTFREIGHT FORWARDERSFUELGENDERGENDER ACTIONGENDER ANALYSISGENDER AWARENESSGENDER AWARENESS TRAININGGENDER BARRIERSGENDER BLINDGENDER COMPOSITIONGENDER CONCERNSGENDER CONSIDERATIONSGENDER DEVELOPMENTGENDER DIFFERENCESGENDER DIMENSIONGENDER DIMENSIONSGENDER DISPARITIESGENDER EQUALITYGENDER EQUALITY PERSPECTIVEGENDER EQUALITY PERSPECTIVESGENDER EXPERTGENDER FOCUSGENDER GAPGENDER INEQUALITIESGENDER INEQUALITYGENDER INITIATIVEGENDER ISSUESGENDER MAINSTREAMINGGENDER MAINSTREAMING STRATEGYGENDER PERSPECTIVEGENDER POLICYGENDER QUOTASGENDER ROLESGENDER SENSITIVEGENDER SENSITIVITYGENDER THEMEGENDER UNITGENDERSHANDLINGHOMEHOUSEHOLDSHUMAN RIGHTHUMAN RIGHTSHUSBANDIMPRISONMENTINFORMAL ECONOMYINFORMAL SECTORINFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENTINFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTSINFRASTRUCTURESINHERITANCEINLAND TRANSPORTINSURANCEINTEGRATION OF GENDERINTERNATIONAL TRADEINTERVENTIONINTERVENTIONSJOB OPPORTUNITIES FOR WOMENLABOR FORCELABOR FORCE PARTICIPATIONLANDLOCKED COUNTRIESLAWSLITERACYLIVING CONDITIONSLOADINGLOCALITIESMINISTRY OF GENDERMINISTRY OF WOMENMOBILITYMOBILITY BENEFITSMODE OF TRANSPORTMULTIMODAL TRANSPORTNATIONAL RAILWAYOCCUPATIONSOPPORTUNITIES FOR WOMENOWNERSHIP LAWSPARTICIPATION BY WOMENPARTICIPATION OF WOMENPOLICEPOLICY ON GENDERPOPULATION GROWTHPORT AUTHORITIESPORT AUTHORITYPORTSPRODUCTIVITYPUBLIC TRANSPORTPUBLIC TRANSPORTATIONQUALITY OF TRANSPORTRAPEREPRESENTATION OF WOMENROADROAD MAINTENANCEROAD SECTORROAD TRANSPORTROADSROADWAYROUTEROUTESRURAL ROADSRURAL TRANSPORTRURAL WOMENRURAL WOMEN ENTREPRENEURSSAFETYSEXSEX WORKERSSEXUAL HARASSMENTSHIPPERSSOCIAL DEVELOPMENTSPECIALIZED INFRASTRUCTURESTATUS OF WOMENSTDSUPPLY CHAINSTAXTRADE FACILITATIONTRADE FACILITATION AUDITSTRADE LOGISTICSTRADING PATTERNSTRAFFICTRAFFIC VOLUMESTRAINSTRANSITTRANSIT SYSTEMTRANSIT SYSTEMSTRANSPARENCYTRANSPORTTRANSPORT ACTIVITIESTRANSPORT CONTAINERSTRANSPORT COSTSTRANSPORT FACILITATIONTRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURETRANSPORT INVESTMENTTRANSPORT OPERATIONSTRANSPORT OPERATORSTRANSPORT PLANNINGTRANSPORT PROJECTSTRANSPORT SECTORTRANSPORT SERVICESTRANSPORT SUPPLYTRANSPORT SURVEYSTRANSPORT SYSTEMSTRANSPORTATIONTRANSPORTATION COSTSUNCTADUNIFEMUNITED NATIONSUNITED NATIONS ECONOMIC COMMISSION FOR AFRICAURBAN TRANSPORTURBAN WOMENVEHICLESVIOLENCEVIOLENCE AGAINST WOMENWALKINGWDRWEALTHWILLWOMAN10.1596/16973
