This report is a synthesis of country gender assessments (CGAs) prepared under a regional technical assistance project covering four Central Asian republics — Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, and Tajikistan. In addition to supporting Government commitments to promote gender equality and mainstream gender into national poverty reduction strategies, the CGAs aim to ensure that ADB interventions are responsive to country gender conditions and commitments.
