The following tools have therefore been developed to facilitate addressing gender issues at all project stages, including during environmental and social due diligence, project design, project implementation and as part of continuing operations.
Utilising these tools with a specific gender focus, particularly at the due diligence stage, will assist in identifying potential adverse gender impacts of projects and appropriate mitigation measures as well as in finding opportunities to promote best practice.
The dissemination and use of these tools, in particular at the project design or initial due diligence stage, will help to ensure that projects both effectively address gender impacts as well as promote best practice.
The Bank has developed programmes to strengthen access to economic opportunity to women, youth, regions, and gradually to other groups such as refugees or Roma through its projects and associated policy engagement across 3 strategic themes where its activities can achieve the highest impact.
The EBRD has developed specific tools to promote gender equality, sharing lessons and experiences learned.
