AIIB’s roads to equality: a gender case study from Gujarat

Abstract

Mukhya Mantri Grameen Sadak Yojana (MMGSY)2 or the Chief Minister’s Rural Road Project in Gujarat in India was selected as a case study to critically assess inclusion of, and impact on, women and girls at all stages of the project. MMGSY is an Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) funded stand-alone project in India. This gender analysis report of the project titled ‘AIIB’s Roads to Inequality: A Gender Case Study from Gujarat’, includes observations, findings, and recommendations from the field with an overview of relevant Indian and Gujarat State laws and policies and an analysis of the gaps and track record of implementation.
