Gender mainstreaming case study: north east coastal community development project and tsunami-affected areas rebuilding project

This case study looks at the gender dimensions of two projects supported by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) in Sri Lanka: the North East Coastal Community Development Project (NECCDP) and Component B of the Tsunami-Affected Areas Rebuilding Project (TAARP). Given the scope and scale of operations of both projects, this study focuses on the community development component that largely advocated community participation, social inclusion, and gender equality in community infrastructure development and livelihood restoration processes in the targeted communities.
