Operationalizing the ‘Gender Window’ of the Community Resilience Partnership Program Recording

ADB has recently approved its Community Resilience Partnership Program (CRPP) to support countries and communities to scale up investments in climate adaptation at the community level, especially investments that address the nexus between climate change, poverty, and gender.

The CRPP will be operationalized through a trust fund which will include a dedicated gender window to promote women-focused investments in resilience.
