Tip Sheet No. 4 - Project Reviews: Monitoring and Reporting on Gender Action Plans
Asian Development Bank | April 2013
Abstract
The Corporate Results Framework of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) includes key operational performance indicators for (i) gender mainstreaming in 45% of all ADB operations and 55% of all Asian Development Fund operations, and (ii) completed sovereign operations delivering intended gender equality results. ADB’s Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment Operational Plan (2013-2020) shifts focus from “at entry” design to better implementation and monitoring to ensure delivery of the intended gender equality results and outcomes. Improving implementation and monitoring will also ensure gender action plans (GAPs) in design documents become an integral project implementation tool, facilitating achievement of gender-inclusive targets and outcomes. GAP implementation poses many challenges that have to be resolved in a timely manner with regular monitoring and capacity development. Unless GAP activities and targets are achieved, intended project outputs and outcomes may not be realized or sustained. Reporting on gender equality and women’s empowerment results enhances ADB’s development effectiveness and accountability, and makes contributions to gender equality tangible at the country and regional levels.
