This report is one of a series of four country reports and one synthesis report presenting findings of the rapid gender assessment of selected loan projects financed by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) in four developing member countries: Indonesia, Mongolia, Sri Lanka, and Viet Nam. This series follows the first round of rapid gender assessments, which were carried out in Bangladesh, Cambodia, Nepal, and Pakistan in 2004–2005. This report was prepared under the overall guidance of Shireen Lateef, director, Social Sectors, Southeast Asia Department, and chair, Gender Equity Community of Practice, Asian Development Bank (ADB); and Sonomi Tanaka, principal social development specialist (gender and development), ADB. A national dissemination workshop was conducted in Jakarta on 10 November 2009.

The authors acknowledge the assistance provided by staff and consultants working on the projects included in this assessment, including from the ministries and provincial departments of education and home affairs. ADB team leaders, including Jean-Marie Lacombe, Laksminingsih Munandar, P. P. Wardani, and Wendy Duncan, also provided much assistance. The authors also acknowledge the assistance provided by Christa Monster and Christien Hukom from the Royal Netherlands Embassy and project gender advisers Sita Aripurnami and Endah Nurdiana. The authors also thank all ADB staff who provided valuable feedback and comments on the rapid gender assessment report during its development. Aldrin Roco assisted in production.

The authors hope that the report will be useful to governments, nongovernment organizations, development practitioners, researchers, and other individuals working in the field of gender and development.
