Elaborate on how gender equality and women’s empowerment issues are mainstreamed into the project implementation and monitoring, taking into account the differences, needs, roles and priorities of women and men. energy-efficiency is typically seen as a primarily technical concern, it does have a gender component. WRI takes a bottom-up approach to mainstreaming gender and thereby generating gender-responsive outcomes, under which projects assess the scale of their gender inclusion, impact on partners and policy in terms of creating gender-responsive solutions, and effects on communities. This project will explore options to improve gender- equitable representation at multi-stakeholder meetings, work with policy makers in designing gender-responsive policies and solutions, and incorporate gender issues into its scaling strategy as appropriate. Inclusion of gender considerations and the perspective of women in the project design has helped to mitigate risks to the project and generate efficiency actions that are more locally appropriate and effective. We will aim to include both gender-related education and gender inclusion as strategies in the project. For education, the intersection of energy efficiency and gender will be the core topic of at least one webinar in the BEA global webinar series. Additionally, we will consider hosting breakout sessions focused on gender at one or more deep dive workshop. For gender inclusion, balance in gender

B: (from GEF Secretariat and GEF Agencies, and Responses to Comments from Council at work program inclusion and the Convention Secretariat and STAP at PIF). Comments from the GEF Secretariat Question Secretariat Comment Agency Response Response to Comments as reflected in the RCA 4. Is the project designed with sound incremental reasoning? DER, October 29, 2015. Yes. The SE4All accelerator approach is proving an effective tool to promote and support countries and local jurisdictions that are already pursuing energy efficiency goals. Under the Building Energy Efficiency Accelerator, cities will be provided additional support through both light touch technical assistance and deep dive planning and investment assistance. Overall, the global partnership will engage 50 cities, of which 30 will commit to policy, projects, and tracking. Of those, at least 6 will receive directed "deep dive" support. Please address the following comment: a) Please document planned coordination with the GEF Sustainable Cities Integrated Approach Pilot. DER, November 12, 2015. Response provided. you. UNEP November 10, 2015. The BEA project will engage with the Bank through the following proposed activities: 1) Email coordination with a representative of GEF Sustainable Cities Integrated Approach 2) Request quarterly coordination and update meetings 3) Ensure newsletter and webinar materials, knowledge products and case studies reach both cities communities to cross-fertilize city activities in building efficiency. Coordination with the World Bank is reflected within the RCA Part II A.8 and Annex H. The project will also request quarterly coordination and update meetings with the GEF Sustainable Cities Integrated Approach Pilot. The project will ensure that newsletter and webinar materials, knowledge products and case studies reach involved cities and communities to cross-fertilize city activities in building efficiency. 5. Are the components in Table B sound and sufficiently clear and appropriate to achieve project objectives and the GEBs? DER, October 29, 2015. The emissions benefits methodology is quite extensive. During project preparation, please explicate the direct and indirect benefits. For example, benefits can be called direct or post-project direct only if a policy or investment is put in place for building efficiency during the project period. UNEP November 10, 2015. Thank you for this comment. We agree with it and fully intend to take it up during the development phase of the project. RCA Part II A.7 and Annex D provide a detailed explanation of the calculations of direct / post-project direct GHG savings. Calculated GHG benefits relate to policies being implemented during the project period.
