time. SDV and gender have been flagged in 16 percent of the operations approved during FY07-10, a substantial decline compared to 25 percent during FY95-98. Operations of other Sector Boards allocated an average of 4 percent to the social development and gender themes during FY07-10, compared to 7 percent in FY95-98.
Note 1 The sector/thematic distribution of the portfolio can also be assessed weighting the shares of projects associated with sectors/themes by the size of operations. Since the results using this method typically only differed from those obtained without factoring in the size by less than two to five percentage points, this annex only reports on data in terms of cumulative shares of projects.
