Enhancing Differentiated Approaches in Context-Sensitive Situations

Closed

The knowledge and support technical assistance (TA) will support the Asian Development Bank (ADB) implement Strategy 2030 (S2030) by institutionalizing differentiated approaches in context-sensitive situations. Context-sensitive situations is a broader definition of the fragile and conflict-affected situations (FCAS) framework adopted by ADB in 2010. Context-sensitive situations are intended to go beyond the existing FCAS classification (i) to consider the distinct challenges that a developing member countries (DMCs) may face in achieving development objectives in limited geographical areas, and (ii) to improve the effectiveness of ADB assistance in those areas. In developing differentiated approaches for FCAS, activities undertaken by the TA will seek to specifically identify ways to better engage women in development decision making and implementation, and also seek to find ways to address violence against women.
