Amends the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 to require that a minimum of $5,000,000 of funds made available for foreign assistance programs be used for programs to promote the participation and integration of women in the development process in developing countries. (Present law places a maximum of $10,000,000 on the use of such funds.) Authorizes appropriations to be made available for the United Nations Development Fund for Women. Requires the Secretary of the Treasury to instruct the U.S. Executive Director of the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (World Bank) to: (1) propose that the Bank establish policy guidelines and implement an action plan to integrate women in the planning, design, implementation, management, and evaluation of Bank activities; and (2) report to the Congress on the implementation of that plan.
