Description

This report provides a summary of progress made by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) in 2009 in implementing its Gender and Development Plan of Action (2008–2010). The Plan of Action sets out three key action areas: (i) country partnership strategies and lending operations, (ii) policy dialogue and support to developing member countries, and (iii) organizational effectiveness. The Plan of Action primarily covers sovereign operations, although ADB started exploring ways to address gender concerns into nonsovereign operations. Overall, ADB made steady progress in the second year of implementation.
