| Project Rationale and Linkage to Country/Regional Strategy | A regional approach to gender mainstreaming taken through the CAREC Gender Strategy 2030, approved at the 19th Ministerial Conference in 2020, can complement national actions and existing programs to support women's empowerment in the region. The Strategy identifies key gender issues, potential strategic directions, and entry points for gender mainstreaming throughout CAREC's five operational clusters with four objectives: (i) promote women's access to economic opportunities; (ii) contribute to women's social empowerment; (iii) support women's regional networks and policy reform for women's economic empowerment; and (iv) enhance women's access to information and communication technology. | ||||||
