The Advisory Group on Gender Equality will assist WWAP in mainstreaming gender equality considerations in its activities and products, in particular the World Water Development Report (WWDR). It will provide guidance and feedback on the design and implementation of the programme's gender mainstreaming strategy, provide expertise, and suggest actions as needed.

The Advisory Group on Gender Equality will initially serve through the 4th phase of WWAP, until the end of 2012.
