Rapid gender assessments (RGAs) of 12 loans in four countries (Indonesia, Mongolia, Sri Lanka, and Viet Nam) were undertaken as part of the ongoing commitment of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) to aid effectiveness and the assessment of gender equality results. This report is one of a series of four country reports that assess gender equality results in the following areas: participation in project activities; access to resources; practical benefits delivered to women; and changes in gender relations among individuals and in households, communities, and institutions. The following criteria were used to select the loan projects for RGA-II:
- projects were categorized with a gender and development theme; in a country where a limited number of such loan projects existed, such as Mongolia, projects with some gender provisions were included
- projects were at an advanced stage of implementation of gender-related activities and outputs and preliminary outcomes could be assessed
- projects covered a mix of rural and urban loca-tions and a variety of sectors, including the priority sectors highlighted in ADB’s Strategy 2020
- projects included some components that addressed the constraints and needs of marginalized people
- the developing member country showed a willingness to participate
The authors findings are as follows:
- gender equality results. A major benefit was improvement in the quality of health care services for women and children, including strengthened capacity to respond to their health needs.
- gender equality results contributed to overall project outcomes. A combination of gender-responsive strategies helped to address some of the constraints faced by women when accessing health services,
- the quality of gender mainstreaming during design and implementation. The gender mainstreaming approaches of the three projects and the gender equality results achieved demonstrates that paying attention to gender differences and issues during design and implementation produced better results for women and enhanced the quality of project implementation
- institutionalization of gender mainstreaming in project design, implementation, and monitoring. More effort is needed to ensure that GAPs and other gender mainstreaming features are institutionalized into the Mongolia program
- the Role of local gender specialists. None of the project teams included gender advisers to guide implementation
- other Contextual and Institutional Factors
The authors recommend the following:
- comprehensive gender analysis should be undertaken during loan preparation for all sectors of ADB operations
- the GAP should include strategies and targets for each loan component, project gender advisers throughout implementation
- projects should systematically collect, analyze, and report on sex-disaggregated data, reporting on the GAP and on gender equality results
- the ADB resident mission gender specialist should be involved in loan design, implementation, and monitoring
- current and future social protection projects should give high priority to strengthening social and gender analysis capacity and assisting with a comprehensive sex-disaggregated MIS
- future road corridor projects should include HIV/AIDS and human trafficking awareness and mitigation as a standard component
