Objective and Purpose of the Assignment

The Urban Climate Change Resilience Trust Fund (UCCRTF)-funded subproject under KSTA 9660 REG:

Promoting Transformative Gender Equality Agenda in Asia and the Pacific aims to demonstrate the

catalytic impacts of gender equality approach in building climate resilient livable cities in

developing member countries, and strengthening urban governance and institutional capacity by

supporting on-going and upcoming ADB operations in four cities in Bangladesh (Kushtia and Faridpur)

and Philippines (Coron and El Nido) . The transformative approach to gender equality will have a

multiplier effect on both ADB operations and actual women's political and economic empowerment in

four sub-project cities.

To achieve this, the TA subproject will operationalize the transformative gender agenda and

increase women's participation and political leadership in decision making within the urban

governance systems through increased skills and access to technical expertise. The subproject will

also facilitate network of women leaders in urban development and climate resilience in two

countries and build capacity on transformative gender agenda in urban planning, public

communication and leadership skills. In parallel, it will address issues of women's economic

empowerment and women's resilience to external shocks. Livelihood trainings will be provided in

financial management including financial literacy and business skills for the benefit of women's

groups at the local level. The TA subproject will also involve awareness raising and knowledge

dissemination in the area of economic resilience to disasters and women's active role as change

agent within the climate and disaster resilience framework.
