A new monitoring and evaluation system for tracking and eval- uating gender mainstreaming in the World Bank’s work is currently being developed. This system will involve annual monitoring, partly through the submission of regional gender mainstreaming plans and year-end reporting by the Regional Vice Presidents on the imple- mentation of these plans, and partly through reporting on bench- marked statistics about regional actions and outputs. In addition, on-the-ground results will be assessed at longer intervals. The system is scheduled for delivery in calendar year 2002. The Regional Vice Presidents will submit progress reports annu- ally to the Managing Directors, which the Gender and Development Board will consolidate into a Bank-wide summary.
