Gender Equality Results in ADB Projects

Rapid gender assessments of 12 projects in four countries were undertaken as part of the Asian Development Bank's commitment to improving aid effectiveness. The assessment of three loans in Sri Lanka found that positive gender equality results were achieved due to the implementation of gender action plans and provisions. Gender action plans were effective tools for ensuring that both women and men participated in and benefited from projects. Gender equality results and gender action plans contributed directly to achieving loan outcomes and improved project effectiveness. This report then discusses the gender equality results achieved for each project, summarizes factors that enhanced the quality of project design and implementation, and makes recommendations to maximize gender equity as a driver of change.

This report details the approach taken to address gender inequalities and the gender equality results achieved for each sector, discusses the challenges to addressing gender issues in each sector, summarizes factors that enhanced the quality of project design and implementation, and makes recommendations to maximize gender equity as a driver of change.

Customer-Driven Change

Bud Taylor

All change theories and approaches agree on two essential ingredients: committed leaders and engaged employees. Most would say that if you have these, you will have successful change—but how do you get them in the first place? This is the point where change recipes often come up short. How do you encourage the commitment and engagement needed in your organization to survive reorganization, acquire a hostile competitor, establish a refreshed workforce strategy, or endure the necessary cutbacks during a recession? How do you get people out of their normal routine and involved in something bigger than themselves or their function? Customers, that’s how! By thinking about change from the customer’s point of view, you will create sustained commitment and engagement within your organization faster than with any other approach. By encouraging leaders and employees to adopt a cohesive perspective, you will unlock the world’s most powerful change strategy—uniting leaders and employees through their customers.

Deciduous Qween

Matty Layne Glasgow

Through the creaking of bedazzled branches and the soft rustle of jeweled leaves,  deciduous qween  explores the queer world all around us—how we, like our environment, wear and shed different identities in our performance as human, as drag queen, as ancient tree. This collection reveals in the natural world those ephemeral moments which reflect our own truths and confront our fear of death, of loneliness, and of failure. With an air of Southern Gothic mysticism, the poet reflects on a childhood spent in Houston’s bayous, an adolescence rife with curiosity and shame, and a young adulthood marred by the loss of his mother. How do our bodies and minds find equilibrium as we learn to let go, yet long to remember? The title poem, “deciduous qween, I–V,” binds the collection in a five-part sequence, pondering those things that are lost in the seasons of our lives: teeth, antlers, body, shape, and leaf. And it’s those sharp edges of loss and the scars they leave behind that linger here, like bark stripped from a swaying willow, or a family bereft of its matriarch.
