The Bank's 2001 Gender Mainstreaming Strategy was criticised as an insufficient step in integrating gender issues in Bank analysis and operations. In a report, the NGO Gender Action concludes that 'engendering' has occurred within the framework of standard macroeconomic and sector policies.Shortcomings are particularly evident in countries where adjustment loans are moving countries towards a market economy without a strong welfare system. Serbia and Montenegro are cited as cases in point. Gender perspectives are poorly rooted within Bank culture. Although gender experts have grown to about 115 - less than one percent of Bank staff and consultants - gender analysis is not mandatory. Interviews revealed ignorance of the gender strategy within the Bank. This text may be freely used providing the source is credited.
