Gender Action Plan E-Mobility and Low Carbon Transportation SubProgram 2 – Panamá, Paraguay, Uruguay

The Gender Action Plan for the E-Motion Sub-Program 2 in Panamá, Paraguay, and Uruguay establishes a framework to integrate gender equality into the deployment of electric vehicles (EVs). The plan focuses on three primary outputs: conducting country-level gender assessments to inform EV roadmaps, facilitating regional knowledge exchange on gender in transportation, and integrating gender-responsive components into financed sub-projects. Key objectives include improving women's access to green jobs, addressing sexual harassment in public transport, and accounting for 'mobility of care' in infrastructure design. The program allocates a total budget of 621,000 USD for these activities, including the employment of a four-specialist gender implementation team.

• The program identifies a three-fold approach to reducing the gender gap in low-carbon transportation: using the sector to change social norms (such as addressing sexual harassment), leveraging women's access to green jobs in traditionally sex-segregated roles, and systematizing gender mainstreaming through capacity building for those designing investment plans.
• The plan targets 100% of the policies and roadmaps supported by the program to adopt a transformative gender perspective, specifically considering factors like gender-neutral language, women-targeted incentives, and 'mobility of care' (the travel implications of daily tasks performed by those with care responsibilities).
• Regional knowledge exchange goals include creating one active network for women in e-mobility, developing one online training module on gender and urban transport, and adapting 12 regional best practices on violence and harassment prevention to local cultures.
• For financed sub-projects, the program mandates that 100% of mobility infrastructure projects include a Gender Equality Strategy and a Gender Action Plan (GAP) with a dedicated budget.
• The program aims to improve women's employment in the mobility sector by targeting 80% of projects to reserve at least 35% of both skilled and non-skilled jobs for women, while also conducting at least five events to eradicate gender biases in labor unions.
• To combat gender-based violence, the plan targets 100% of projects to include a sexual harassment protocol and a surveillance system utilizing both human and technological resources, coordinated with police and local Mechanisms for Women's Advancement.
• The total budget for the Gender Action Plan is 621,000 USD, which includes funding for international and national consultants, communication materials, scholarships, and a dedicated implementation team consisting of one Coordinator Gender Specialist and three Country-Based Gender specialists.
