| 520 | |a Assuming women's empowerment would accelerate the pace of social change in rural Nepal, the World Bank urged the Nepali government to undertake a "Gender Activities Project" within an ongoing long-term water-engineering scheme.

She demonstrates how a project intended to benefit women fails to provide them with any of the promised resources. | ||
