Interim Progress Report on the Policy on Gender and Development

Asian Development Bank | November 2002
Abstract
In June 1998, the Board of Directors of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) adopted a policy on gender and development (GAD). The new GAD policy confirmed a shift in ADB’s approach to women, from targeted interventions primarily in the social sectors to mainstreaming gender in all ADB operations. To support gender mainstreaming, the GAD policy codified a number of operational requirements and practices, and introduced several new institutional mechanisms. It also called for an interim status report on implementation and progress after 2 years, and an overall review and evaluation after 5 years.
