The proposed TA will launch the Program to assist ADB in more consistently and effectively implementing its GAD policy and related Action Plan. The TA will help both ADB and key goverment agencies in its DMCs to more systematically address gender concerns in the planning, development, and implementation of programs and projects in order to reduce gender disparities and make significant progress towards meeting the MDGs. Gender equality and women's empowerment are crucial to both meaningful poverty reduction and achievement of the MDGs.
