Country Gender Capacity Building Assistance

One of the major constraints to including women in all development activities is the limited gender and development capacity of government agencies in most of DMCs. 

Many DMCs have established ministries of women's affairs or departments of women within other ministries to promote and facilitate the greater involvement of women in national development. Unfortunately, many of these agencies are under-resourced and often lack the institutional capacity to realize their goals.

To address these constraints, ADB is assisting a number of its DMCs to build the institutional capacity of these agencies to more effectively carry out their mandate.
