Recommendations
ОглавлениеADB’s country strategy and program for Viet Nam in 2006 commits ADB to including gender considerations in ADB projects and to improving gender-related capacity building, monitoring, and evaluation. Strategy 2020 highlights gender equity as one of five drivers of change and commits ADB to design gender-inclusive projects and pay careful attention to gender issues across the full range of its operations. To achieve these aims, it is recommended that:
| (i) | GAPs should be prepared in sufficient detail to provide a guide for implementation and should include: strategies and targets for each loan component, project gender advisers throughout implementation, and gender capacity building with executing agencies and other stakeholders. |
| (ii) | Terms of reference for project gender advisers should ensure that their inputs are used strategically to (a) build ownership of the GAP and ensure its implementation, (b) analyze the progress and effectiveness of overall GAP implementation, (c) address implementation challenges where women’s participation is limited, and (d) share lessons on effective strategies and how gender equality results contribute to overall loan outcomes. |
| (iii) | Sex-disaggregated baseline data should be collected wherever possible on gender-related targets included in GAPs and on other DMF indicators. |
| (iv) | Executing agencies should collect and report on sex-disaggregated data for DMF indicators. Reporting on the GAP and on gender equality results should be integrated into core project documents such as annual reports, midterm review, impact assessment, and project completion reports. They should assess gender differences in participation, access to project resources, and benefits. |
| (v) | More attention should be paid to GAP implementation and monitoring, including the monitoring of gender equality results throughout project implementation. Enhanced dialogue with executing agencies by ADB on GAP implementation and gender-related loan covenants during review missions should be pursued. |
| (vi) | The ADB resident mission gender specialist could be more involved in loan design, implementation and monitoring, and should be included in loan review missions for projects in high-priority sectors where it is possible to demonstrate the impact of a gender-responsive approach and where there are opportunities for lesson learning, replication to other projects, and building the gender capacity of partners. |
| (vii) | The next Viet Nam country partnership strategy should include gender equality results in its results framework. This would enable project GAPs to be aligned with the country strategy and would provide a firm basis for dialogue on gender equality and GAP implementation with executing agencies. |
