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 to assess gender equality results. The objectives of this report was to assess the extent to which project- specific GAPs or specific gender provisions in ADB loans achieved gender equality results and contributed to projects’ overall outcomes and outputs. The authors found the following:
- each of the projects achieved positive results for women and girls and addressed some of the key gender disparities identified in ADB’s Viet Nam country gender assessment
- GAP implementation and the achievement of gender equality results directly contributed to the achievement of overall loan objectives in each project
- all three projects had a GAP or GEMAP1 that was included in the loan covenants, but the quality, implementation, and monitoring of the plans varied
- the first rapid gender assessment demonstrated that GAPs are effective tools for ensuring that both women and men participate in and benefit from loan projects, because GAPs promote a systematic and integrated
- more effort is needed to ensure that GAPs are institutionalized by both executing agencies and ADB through the inclusion of GAP elements and gender- sensitive indicators in the design and monitoring frameworks (DMFs) in reports and recommendations to the President (RRPs) and in project performance reports
To achieve these aims, the authors recommend the following:
- GAPs should be prepared in sufficient detail to provide a guide for implementation and should include: strategies and targets for each loan component, project gender advisers throughout implementation, and gender capacity building with executing agencies and other stakeholders
- terms of reference for project gender advisers should ensure that their inputs are used strategically
- sex-disaggregated baseline data should be collected wherever possible on gender-related targets included in GAPs and on other DMF indicators
- executing agencies should collect and report on sex-disaggregated data for DMF indicators
- more attention should be paid to GAP implementation and monitoring, including the monitoring of gender equality results throughout project implementation
- the ADB resident mission gender specialist could be more involved in loan design, implementation and monitoring
- the next Viet Nam country partnership strategy should include gender equality results in its results framework
