This gender assessment provides an overview of the gender situation in Comoros, with a specific focus on climate-resilient water supplies and Integrated Water Resources Management, identifying gender issues that are relevant to the project and examining potential gender mainstreaming opportunities. This gender assessment is based on:

• A desk review of relevant national policy documents, including the National Gender Equity and Equality Policy (PNEEG), the Growth and Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (PRGSP), Comoros development strategy for 2015-2019 and others;
• Recommendations and lessons learned from past studies and assessments on gender from the Government of Comoros, the United Nations, civil society organisations, the private sector and multilateral development banks;
• Stakeholder consultations.
