Spotlight Working with Women's Nongovernment Organizations

Working with NGOs

To pilot-test new and diverse approaches to promote gender-inclusive development, a grant financing facility, or Regional Technical Assistance - RETA 5889: Gender and Development Initiatives, was developed and approved in 2000. Funds were allocated under the Project to specifically finance small-scale initiatives of women's NGOs that have the potential for scaling up or replication in ADB-financed loan and TA projects.

Over a two-year period of implementation, the RETA has financed 30 women's NGO initiatives and proved a successful tool in strengthening ADB's partnerships with innovative women's NGOs in the Asia Pacific Region.
