Benefits and risks are often evaluated and measured at the community level, with little examination of the different impacts on men and women. In fact, evidence suggests that a gender bias exists in the distribution of risks and benefits in EI projects: benefits accrue to men in the form of employment and compensation, while the costs, such as family and social disruption, and environmental degradation, fall most heavily on women. Despite the ample evidence of gender bias, and its implications, in EI, there is significant scope for increasing the gender focus of most EI projects in the World Bank. Analyzing and adapting projects to local gender issues can help to mitigate the risks created by EI, and amplify the potential benefits to both men and women, leading to increased profitability and more sustainable development impacts. Furthermore, understanding and adapting projects to improve gender sensitivity is essential to realizing the Bank's stated commitment to both mainstreaming gender and to the third Millennium Development Goal (MDG) of gender equality and empowerment of women. The following guidelines briefly outline some of the ways that EI can impact men and women differently and the associated development implications, and provide step by step suggestions for how to understand and integrate gender issues into World Bank Group EI project design.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO CAPITALACQUISITIONACQUISITIONSADVANCED ECONOMIESAFFILIATED ORGANIZATIONSALUMINUMBALANCE SHEETSBANK BORROWINGBANKING SYSTEMSBANKSBASE METALSBAUXITEBONDBOND ISSUESBOND MARKETBORROWING COSTSBUSINESS OPPORTUNITYBUSINESS PERFORMANCECADASTRECAPITAL MARKETSCASH FLOWSCASMCHIEF EXECUTIVECOALCOBALTCOLLATERALCOMMERCIAL ENTERPRISESCOMMODITIESCOMMODITYCOMMODITY PRICECOMMODITY PRICESCONSOLIDATIONCOOPERATION AGREEMENTCOOPERATION AGREEMENTSCOPPERCOPPER MINESCORPORATE GOVERNANCECORPORATIONCORPORATIONSCREDIT RATINGCURRENCYDEPOSITDEPOSITARY RECEIPTSDEPOSITSDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDEVELOPING COUNTRYDEVELOPING COUNTRY ECONOMIESDEVELOPMENT BANKDIAMONDSDIRECT INVESTMENTDOMESTIC MARKETSECONOMIC CRISISECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTEITIEMERGING ECONOMIESEMERGING ECONOMYEMERGING MARKETEMERGING MARKET COMPANIESEMERGING MARKETSEQUITY INVESTORSEQUITY MARKETSEXPLORATION EXPENDITUREEXPOSUREEXTRACTIVE INDUSTRIESEXTRACTIVE INDUSTRIES TRANSPARENCY INITIATIVEFINANCE CORPORATIONFINANCIAL MARKETSFINANCIAL SECTORFINANCIAL WEAKNESSFOREIGN INVESTORSFOREIGN MININGFULL DISCLOSUREGASGAS FLARING REDUCTIONGEOGRAPHIC DIVERSIFICATIONGEOLOGICAL KNOWLEDGEGEOLOGICAL SURVEYGLOBAL ECONOMYGLOBAL INVESTORGLOBALIZATIONGOLDGOLD MINEGOOD GOVERNANCEGOVERNANCE PRACTICESGOVERNMENT POLICIESHOLDINGHOST COUNTRIESINDEPENDENT DIRECTORSINFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENTINSTITUTIONAL INVESTORSINTERESTED PARTIESINTERESTS OF MINORITY SHAREHOLDERSINTERNATIONAL CAPITALINTERNATIONAL CAPITAL MARKETSINTERNATIONAL FINANCEINTERNATIONAL STANDARDSINVESTMENT ANALYSISINVESTMENT CORPORATIONINVESTMENT FLOWSINVESTMENT PROGRAMIRONIRON OREJOINT VENTURELARGE COMPANIESLARGE MININGLARGE SHAREHOLDERSLEGAL AUTHORITYLIBERALIZATIONLIBERALIZATIONSLOCAL COMPANIESMARKET CAPITALIZATIONMARKET DOWNTURNMARKET ENVIRONMENTMARKET SHARESMETALSMINERAL CONCESSIONSMINERAL PRODUCTIONMINERAL RESERVESMINERAL RESOURCESMINERAL RIGHTSMINERALOGYMINERALSMINERALS INDUSTRYMINING ASSETSMINING COMPANIESMINING COMPANYMINING INDUSTRYMINING INTERESTSMINING INVESTMENTMINING OPERATIONSMINING POLICYMINING PROJECTMINING SECTORMOLYBDENUMNATIONAL SECURITYNATURAL RESOURCESNICKELNONFERROUS METAL MININGOGMCOILOIL COMPANIESOIL PRICEORESOUTPUTPALLADIUMPERSONAL FINANCESPLATINUMPORTFOLIOPOTASHPOVERTY ALLEVIATIONPRINCIPAL ASSETSPRINCIPAL SHAREHOLDERSPRIVATE ENTERPRISEPRIVATE ENTERPRISESPRIVATE PARTNERSHIPPRIVATE SECTOR GROWTHPRIVATIZATIONPRIVATIZATIONSPROFITABILITYPUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPREGULATORY ENVIRONMENTREGULATORY REGIMEREORGANIZATIONRETURNRISK CAPITALRISK PROFILERISK PROFILESSAVINGSSHARE PRICESHAREHOLDERSHAREHOLDER AGREEMENTSHAREHOLDERSSHAREHOLDINGSILVERSMALL-SCALESMALL-SCALE MINERSSMALL-SCALE MININGSMALLER COMPANIESSOCIAL RESPONSIBILITIESSOCIAL SAFEGUARDSSOCIETYSPECULATIONSTATE BANKSSTATE-OWNED COMPANIESSTEELSTOCK EXCHANGESTOCK MARKETSTOCK MARKETSSTOCKSSUBSIDIARYSUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTTAKEOVERTAKEOVER BIDTAXTECHNICAL ASSISTANCETITANIUMTRACK RECORDSTRADINGTRADING SYSTEMTRANSPARENCYTRUST FUNDUNIONURANIUMVALUATIONWORLD INVESTMENT REPORTZINC10.1596/18235
