A Tool Kit for Promoting Gender Equality in Public-Private Partnerships

The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has various tools to support gender mainstreaming, but these tools are not tailored to public-private partnerships (PPPs). ADB developed this tool kit for anyone engaged in PPP operations to integrate gender considerations in PPP projects throughout the development cycle.

The tool kit offers guidance by (i) helping users become aware of how PPPs can offer more inclusive and gender-responsive infrastructure and services, and (ii) presenting practical approaches and application of gender considerations across the PPP development cycle. The tool kit highlights gender considerations for PPPs and good practice examples, and offers a list of resources and sector considerations.
